The 9th Annual Comer Children’s Kids’ Fashion Show took place on Sunday, April 29, 2019 at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. Sponsored by Chicago magazine, kids ages five through 17 strutted their stuff on the runway in support of patient care programs at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital. This year’s event raised nearly $150,000 with over 130 models participating, including 12 patients receiving care at Comer Children’s.
