On Saturday, November, 18th, Sky Guy and Amanda Lassiter teamed up with the Bear Necessities Organization to put on a pre-holiday party for the patients of UIC and their families. Bear Necessities is dedicated to eliminating pediatric cancer and to provide support and hope to those touched by it. The event took place at the UIC Medical Center, located at 1740 W. Taylor, in Chicago, IL.

Various Chicago pediatric oncology non-profits were in attendance and set up individual tables with many different activities for the patients to participate in. Of the various organization's that attended the event, were the American Cancer Society and Gilda’s Club.

While Amanda was busy signing autographs and taking photos with all those in attendance, Sky Guy interacted with many of the children while they shot baskets with a giant inflatable basketball. He also found time to play a few games of Baggo with many of the patients at the hospital.

The activities were rounded out by Bear Necessities, who also provided face painting and helped kids create holiday cards for their friends and family. To learn more about Bear Necessities click here.
