Chai Lifeline

This auction is a part of the Team Peri Foundation x Chai Lifeline project. The Team Peri Foundation integrates diversity and inclusion with charitable giving through collaborations with organizations whose values align with ours, such as Chai Lifeline. We are committed to educating and promoting disability inclusion to counteract the physical accessibility barriers and ableist views that are prevalent in society. Regardless of one's ability, everyone deserves to be accepted, included, and understood by all, and our mission is to spread this message, celebrate human diversity, and change the way the world views inclusion. Over the past fifteen years, a project of Team Peri has been to raise funds for Chai Lifeline. We Step Out of Line one million times, again and again. To date, we fundraised over $900,000 for the nonprofit, Chai Lifeline/Team Lifeline, and we are on the trajectory to raise One Million Dollars by January 28, 2024.​ We are counting on your help to get us to our One Million Dollar goal this year.

Chai Lifeline’s guiding principles are:

• That seriously ill children need and deserve as happy and normal a childhood as possible
• That illness affects each member of the family
• That the well-being of an ill child is impacted by the well-being of his or her family
• That pediatric illness can have a devastating financial effect on families

• Find ways to bring joy to the lives of our young patients and their families through creative, innovative, and effective family-centered programs, activities, and services
• Engender hope and optimism in children, families, and communities
• Educate and involve communities in caring for ill children and their families
• Provide unparalleled support throughout the child’s illness, recovery, and beyond
• Offer all services free of charge to ensure that every family has access to the programs it needs
• Embody the ideals of compassion, kindness, and caring for others inherent in Jewish culture and life
