In the Chicago Children's Museum's FORTS exhibit, there's a platform.
The Chicago Children's Museum received a $15,000 grant from the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust, the philanthropic arm of the retail pharmacy giant, to continue its Play for All series, which caters to children with special needs and emphasizes inclusion and shared.
"Our guiding theme with All Kids Can is inclusion, which is
where Play for All and the Children's Museum fits in quite nicely,"
says Eileen. "Encouraging kids to be the very best they can be
in places they wouldn't ordinarily get the opportunity is something
we're focused on."
"We want to support opportunities for inclusion for kids with disabilities, and the museum sees things the way we do," Eileen says.
