4. Why did you choose the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) as the recipient of your donations for the year 2007?

   Dr. Phillips is the head of neuro-oncology at CHOP. He is in charge of the research that goes on in the pediatric brain tumor realm. Dr. Phillips not only has an unbelievable resume including Sloan Kettering, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Johns Hopkins, he is a passionate man when it comes to his patients and research. Having had the opportunity to work at many other institutions he chose CHOP because he believes it to be the best in the pediatric field. He is not alone in that belief. In 2006, U.S. News & World Report named CHOP the #1 Children’s Hospital in the Country for a 4th year in a row. The level of care that Kortney and our entire family received while at CHOP was amazing. 100% of the money we give to them will go to research. CHOP researchers work closely with other institutions who are all working together toward the same goals.
