Fundraising

The Junior Board organizes three annual events to raise funds for Rush University Medical Center: a fall car wash, a holiday tea, and a spring fashion show. In 2020 the Junior Board raised over $100,000 for RUMC including $28,000 for Rush's COVID-19 Response Fund. These funds also provided medication vouchers for underinsured and homeless patients, medication and supplies for access clinics in underserved areas, medical care for children living in homeless shelters on the north, south, and west sides of Chicago, and resources for the Road Home Program which provides intensive out-patient treatment for veterans.
