The North Suburban Medical Research Junior Board (NSMRJB) is dedicated to raising funds for pediatric research to help ensure a healthy and productive future for the next generation.
Founded in 1996, the NSMRJB is an Illinois not-for-profit organization, and serves as a junior board to the Medical Research Institute Council (MRIC). The MRIC, an affiliated organization of Children’s Memorial Hospital, has been raising funds for medical research in Chicago since the 1950′s. Both the NSMRJB and MRIC work to promote activities and community awareness for Children’s Memorial Hospital.
Since its affiliation with Children’s Memorial, the NSMRJB has raised more than $1.6 million to fund creative research in an amazing array of disciplines through a wide range of fundraising events and activities. NSMRJB support has led to advanced investigation in cancer, genetics and developmental biology at Children’s Memorial Research Center, one of a handful of free-standing facilities in the nation devoted exclusively to pediatric research.
