Creature Comfort Foundation Donates Slumberkins Bigfoot Kins to Endeavor Health Pediatrics, Supporting Children and Families During Hospital Stays

CHICAGO, IL April 2025 — Creature Comfort Foundation is proud to announce its recent donation of Slumberkins Bigfoot Kins to the pediatric department of Endeavor Health, one of Illinois' largest healthcare systems serving communities throughout the greater Chicago metropolitan area.

This meaningful donation supports Endeavor Health’s mission to deliver exceptional, family-centered care to children across its expansive network of hospitals and pediatric clinics. With a strong focus on empathy, child development, and healing, Endeavor Health Pediatrics offers advanced care in a nurturing environment—supporting infants, children, and adolescents through every step of their health journey.

The Slumberkins Bigfoot Kin is a beloved therapeutic plush and storybook set designed to help children navigate stress, fear, and emotional regulation. At Creature Comfort Foundation, we believe these small tools can make a big difference during challenging medical experiences.

"The children are loving the donation and we’re looking forward to continuing our partnership!" said Katelyn Beyer, CCLS, Coordinator of Child Life Services at Endeavor Health.

The donation is part of Creature Comfort Foundation’s ongoing mission to bring emotional support to pediatric patients through partnerships with hospitals and child life specialists across the nation. Whether through ComfortKits filled with sensory activities and storybooks, or through plush companions like Slumberkins, each offering is designed to uplift, calm, and connect children during their time in care.

"This donation reminds us how important nurturing care is—whether it comes from a parent, a nurse, or a comforting plush placed in a child’s arms," said Ava Builione, Founder of Creature Comfort Foundation.

Creature Comfort Foundation invites hospitals, caregivers, and supporters to join the mission of spreading comfort to children who need it most. Donations help expand outreach to more hospitals and make healing tools accessible to more families.
