Wednesday, March 13, 2019 Cribs for Kids® National Infant Safe Sleep Initiative announced the creation of the Laura Ditka Memorial Award for Advocacy of Women and Children at their Women of achievement gala. Anthony Ditka accepted the award on behalf of his sister and spoke beautifully of how important it always was to Laura to champion the most vulnerable of our world, the children. View his speech here.
In coming years, we will partner with this organization to select one woman, nationwide, who exemplifies the standards of advocacy that Laura did.
We miss her every day. The videos below were a bittersweet reminder of who we lost and what she meant to not just our family, but the world.
Go be bigger. Be fearless. Be a protector. And Stand.
