Shamrocks for Kids

Thursday, March 1, 2012 - Saturday, March 31, 2012

Events throughout Chicagoland

Every year in March we reach out in a special way to the public, asking them to be a part of a solution for kids in crisis while celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Now in its 17th year, our Shamrocks for Kids campaign gives a voice to the thousands of kids who are abused, neglected or at risk.

We are so grateful to everyone who has supported this campaign, including those who volunteered who helped us raise support through Mercy Home Shamrocks at Chicago area St. Patrick's Day parades and celebrations, those who attended our Post St. Patrick's Day Parade Celebration at the Chicago Hilton, and those thousands of Chicagoans all over town who passed along the luck of the Irish by getting their Mercy Home Shamrocks.

We still need your help! You can still make a donation online and help us reach our goal. Shamrocks for Kids is a critical to our year-round fundraising efforts. And this year, it helps us build our Legacy of Learning, a $20 million fund that will help ensure access to a quality education for every child in our care—today, tomorrow and forever.

Your support is an investment in our children's future. We thank you for giving our kids opportunities to succeed.
