There were a lot of helping
hands, both big and
small when volunteers at
the Northbrook office of
Northwestern Mutual –
Chicago transformed their
workspace into a production
line assembling goodie
bags for hospitalized children.
Tables were filled with
books, toys, puzzles and
other goodies as volunteers
packed more than 70 bags
that were delivered to the
Ronald McDonald House
near Lurie Children’s Hospital.
“We are grateful to our
financial professionals
who through this event are
sharing our philanthropic
cause with their families
and friends,” said Corey D.
McQuade, managing partner.
“We hope that through
this outreach we can provide
some joy to children
who can be facing the most
difficult of life circumstances.”
The Northbrook volunteers
also made personalized
cards with uplifting
messages for Cards for Hospitalized
Kids and helped
raise funds for Alex’s Lemonade
Stand Foundation.
In 2014, the Chicagobased
financial planning
firm joined forces with
Northwestern Mutual’s
national childhood cancer
initiative to accelerate the
search for cures for childhood
cancer and to provide
support for families fighting
the disease. Through

To help support local
families, in 2015, Northwestern

Northbrook, Oak Brook
and Rosemont began a
partnership with the Ronald
McDonald House of Chicagoland
and Northwest

firm regularly engages
its associates with days of
service providing meals
for families staying at one
of the five local houses. In
2016, in conjunction with
the Northwestern Mutual
Foundation, the firm presented
a $25,000 grant that
supports local programming.

for hospitalized children at
