Pediatric Resource Center

05/19/2026

Because of the incredible generosity of our community and the partnership of OSF Children's Hospital of Illinois, Children’s Miracle Network and Great Clips, an amazing $102,637 was raised to support the Pediatric Resource Center!

These funds help provide specialized, child-friendly medical care, advocacy, and comfort for children and families.

Every dollar makes a difference in the lives of children who need hope, healing, and support.

To everyone who donated, you helped to improve kids’ health and change their futures. You are making a life-changing impact for local children and families every single day. 💙✨

Kids having a great relationship with someone you trust, like a neighbor, can be wonderful, but it’s important to talk to them about what they’re doing alone. Grooming happens when adults are too polite to protect kids. Talk to your kids to keep them safe. .

Did you know that the Pediatric Resource Center assists with these cases when the age of the child is in question. Our medical providers also testify in court for these cases.

It’s important to remember CSAM consists of much more than just images and video files. Whatever form it takes, a child is at the center of every single case. Learn more at: ncmec.org/theissues/csam

What a day.

Today at the Pediatric Resource Center’s Pinwheel 5K Trail Run & Fun Walk, our community showed up in the most powerful way—running, walking, cheering, and standing together for children.

Because of YOU, this event was more than a race. It was a statement: that every child deserves safety, healing, and hope.

Thank you to: ✨ Our incredible participants who hit the trail and made every step count
✨ Our generous sponsors who made this event possible
✨ Our dedicated volunteers who kept everything running smoothly
✨ Our community partners and supporters who believe in this mission
And to everyone who came out to Donovan Park—whether you ran, walked, donated, or simply showed your support—you are the reason this event matters.

Every dollar raised helps the Pediatric Resource Center continue providing expert, child-friendly medical care for children who may have experienced abuse or neglect—right here in our community.

Today, the park was filled with blue pinwheels… a powerful reminder of the happy, healthy childhoods all children deserve. 💙

From all of us at PRC—thank you for being part of something so meaningful.

💙 Pinwheels for Prevention 💙

Each April, during Child Abuse Prevention Month, you may see blue pinwheels spinning in the spring breeze. These pinwheels are more than decorations—they are a symbol of hope, resilience, and the bright futures every child deserves.

The pinwheel reminds us of what childhood should be—safe, joyful, and full of possibility. It represents the moments of laughter, the freedom to play, and the innocence that every child has the right to experience.

But it also calls us to action.
To create stronger families.
To support one another.
To be the community that protects and uplifts children.

This month, we invite you to wear blue, plant a pinwheel, start a conversation, and help build a world where every child grows up safe and supported.

Because every child deserves a childhood filled with light, not fear.

Prevention starts with all of us. 💙
