The Cooperative Society and Junior Cooperative Society continue their long tradition of support at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the International Adoption Center (IAC). These wonderful auxiliary groups work within Cincinnati Children's and are dedicated to helping the families, patients and personnel.
Since 1884 the Cooperative Society has provided teams of volunteers who help brighten the halls and lobbies of the hospital. The Cooperative Society provided critical start-up funds for the IAC to open in 1999 and has provided annual support which includes being a Platinum Sponsor for the 2005 Passport to Forever.
The Junior Cooperative Society has been helping Cincinnati Children's since 1911 and is responsible for the Gift Shop. All proceeds from the Gift Shop are donated back to the medical center. The Junior Cooperative Society supported the IAC as a Platinum Sponsor for the 2005 Passport to Forever.
Without their sponsorship, the IAC could not achieve its mission and help thousands of IAC children know what a family is.
