About Kids Dig
Clayco's Kids Dig gives patients of Lurie Children's and their siblings, the opportunity to explore, interact and operate (with assistance) a variety of heavy machinery. Participants will have the opportunity to explore moving excavators, scissor lifts, bulldozers and boom lifts in a giant sand box, as well as an assortment of interactive kid zone activities.
This one-of-a-kind event promotes healing for Chicago's children, while also sparking curiosity and wonder within the construction community.
About Lurie Children's
Lurie Children’s provides some of the highest quality pediatric care in the country. In the 2024-25 U.S. News & World Report rankings of the Best Children’s Hospitals, Lurie Children’s continues to be the top hospital in Illinois, ranking in 11 specialties. Lurie Children’s provides superior pediatric care in a state-of-the-art hospital and outpatient centers that offer the latest benefits and innovations in medical technology, family-friendly design and research through the Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute.
Lurie Children’s is unique because our mission is entirely centered on children. With fewer than 30 independent, research-driven children’s hospitals in the U.S., our existence has never been more critical. Unlike adult hospitals, which increasingly prioritize the needs of an aging population, we dedicate all our resources—whether in research, bed space, or medical expertise—exclusively to children.
Our commitment to children’s health drives everything we do. But we can’t do it alone. As a nonprofit medical center, your support is crucial in helping us continue to provide world-class care, maintain an environment uniquely designed for children and support families when they need it the most. When you choose to support Lurie Children’s, you’re investing in a future where every child has access to the best possible care.
