7-Eleven® and Speedway® are Helping Change Kids’ Health at Lurie Children’s October 30-January 7

Children’s hospitals are on the frontlines when it comes to protecting the health of future generations. But they can’t do it alone. 7-Eleven® and Speedway® Stores are serving their neighbors to meet their everyday needs. So together, we can build a better tomorrow. 

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, 7-Eleven® and Speedway® Stores want to give families at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago the support they need to help kids receive the best possible care. 100% of donations through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals benefit our children’s hospital, supporting the health and well-being of kids through critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services. Allowing kids the opportunity to grow to their full potential. 

October 30 through January 7, 7-Eleven® and Speedway® Stores along with customers, Franchise Owners, suppliers, vendors and employees have joined forces to raise critical funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. We know when we help fund medical treatments, equipment and facilities, we help ensure children live healthy, fulfilling lives. Fostering the inventors, artists, leaders and families of tomorrow.

Your donation creates ripple effects that positively impact our community for years to come. Unlocking a world of possibilities for patients like 11-year-old Aidan from Gilberts, Illinois.

Aidan’s parents began to worry when they noticed changes in his energy levels, and regular activities like family bike rides became more and more tiring for him. At Lurie Children’s, he was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. He and his parents met with members of the pediatric nephrology team, who helped Aidan to understand his condition in an age-appropriate way and included him in conversations at each appointment.

Within a few months of diagnosis, Aidan needed a new kidney – and his mother, Christine, was a perfect match. Aidan and Christine underwent surgery in April 2021. Today, Aidan continues to receive follow-up care at Lurie Children’s to manage his health post-transplant. He enjoys reading, video games and playing golf.

Earlier this year, Aidan represented Lurie Children’s at the 33rd Annual 7-Eleven Miracle Tournament and Celebration Dinner in Dayton, Ohio. Thanks to the generous support of over 600 suppliers, vendors and business partners, this year’s event raised more than $3 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Donate or round up your purchase today at participating 7-Eleven® and Speedway® Stores to help make our community stronger by providing needed treatments for patients at Lurie Children’s, and kids like Aidan. Learn more about Aidan’s story here.
