Supporting the University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital
On August 26, 2002, we lost Lisa Elizabeth Klitzky to Rhabdomyosarcoma. Lisa was a daughter, a sister, and a friend. And for 25 years we had the privilege of sharing our lives with her. Friends like Lisa come along but once in a lifetime. She was one of a kind. She had a warm heart and an unmatched kindness toward others. To know her was truly to love her…and to be loved.
Lisa’s passing was heartbreaking to all who knew her. In her memory, ensuring that her spirit lives on, devoted family and friends are continuing her legacy of beauty, art, and kindness to others by creating the Lisa Klitzky Foundation. The Foundation supports adolescent cancer survivors facing long-term physical and psychological challenges in their post-treatment years. Lisa’s loving spirit allows this foundation to make a difference in the lives of others, as she would have done herself.
