Over
700 guests gathered into the Field Museum in Chicago
on February 23 for the Bear Necessities Pediatric
Cancer Foundation's 15th Annual Bear Tie
Crystal Ball: Looking into the Future. CBS2
Chicago's Jay Levine and Mary
Ann Childers returned to emcee the event which
raised $630,000 for pediatric cancer.
The evening honored Rosemont's Mayor Bradley
Stephens and Northwestern University
Dance Marathon (NUDM) with the William J. Casey
Hope Awards, presented annually to one individual and
one corporation for their support and assistance towards
Bear Necessities programs and mission. William
Banis, VP of Student Affairs at Northwestern
University and Dance Marathon co-chairs, Krysta
Kauble and Tara Corrigan accepted
the corporate award on behalf of NUDM.
Small Miracle Ambassador, Amanda Groeller,
18, shared her experience with cancer and how the Bear
Necessities Small Miracle program played a part in her
life. The Small Miracle program reaches out to
children diagnosed and treated in Chicago hospitals to
provide something small and unique to brighten their
lives during a difficult time and offers needed support
services for families.
