Forest & Bluff Magazine Highlights Dolan Family’s Three-Decade Commitment to Shirley Ryan AbilityLab

A recent article in Forest & Bluff, a magazine covering several Northshore communities, highlighted the Dolan family’s decades-long, multi-generational commitment to fundraising and leadership at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab.

The members of the Lake Forest family who have served our organization include:

  • Daniel (Danny), who started as a member of the Associate Board and is currently vice chair of the Board of Directors. “This hospital is so unbelievable. So inspirational. So mind blowing. I can’t imagine not being part of this organization,” he said. 
  • Genevieve and Caroline, members of Associate Board and organizers of Art in Motion, which raises funds for Shirley Ryan AbilityLab’s Art Therapy and Therapeutic Recreation programs. These important programs aren’t covered by insurance, so donor support is crucial.

“Genevieve and Caroline have so eloquently expressed what makes this hospital so outstanding and I’m so proud of the work they’re doing with Art in Motion,” said Danny. “Every day, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is disrupting how medicine is delivered. The outcomes are outstanding — transformational. The research being done, and the medicine being practiced is what is giving patients and their families hope. Our leadership team has created this culture, and they won’t settle for anything less. You can feel this passion come through in the art.”
