iCAN KIDS Walter Payton 2025 Challenge of 10
Dear Friends,

We’re excited to introduce iCAN (the International Children’s Advisory Network), a global, youth-led initiative that empowers young people to:

• Advocate for pediatric clinical research

• Amplify youth voices in healthcare

• Explore future careers in medicine

Our local chapter, iCAN KIDS Payton at Walter Payton High School (Chicago), brings together 25 passionate students (ages 14–18)—some of whom live with chronic conditions or disabilities, and all united by a shared mission: to make pediatric healthcare more inclusive, informed, and youth‑friendly.

What we do:

• Host guest speakers from Lurie Children’s Hospital

• Participate in focus groups with pediatric researchers

• Co‑create youth‑friendly informed consents, assents, and patient‑education materials

• Interpret and contribute to adolescent mental‑health research with UIC (we’re credited as contributors!)

• Assemble care packages for families at Ronald McDonald House

Why we need your help:

We’ve just launched our first local fundraising campaign to fuel:

1. Annual iCAN Summit participation

A weeklong gathering where youth from around the world collaborate with medical researchers, the FDA, patient‑education experts, and industry leaders (Pfizer, etc.) to shape pediatric protocols, consent tools, and telehealth solutions.

2. Chapter activities & materials

Guest‑speaker series, focus‑group coordination, and creation of accessible educational resources.

Donate today on our GoFundMe page (all gifts are tax‑deductible and any amount helps!)

The Youth Council's iCAN Challenge of 10
The Youth Council is participating in the iCAN Challenge of 10 to help raise funds for members to attend the annual Summit in Montreal, Canada. Members of the Youth Council are challenged to make 10 educational health flyers and to post them on social media.

The Youth Council is composed of 30+ young individuals from around the US and world. Members guide the decision-making process of iCAN and ensure that the organization reflects the voices of its youth members. Youth Council members share their experiences in health care and research with medical providers, companies and hospitals.

At the Summit, members will share their voices with top leaders in pediatric research, impacting patients world-wide. This life-changing experience not only improve pediatric experiences in healthcare, but allow members to develop their leadership and public speaking skills.

Any donations are greatly appreciated.
