Foundation for Developmentally Disabled Children records, 1929-1991 (bulk 1945-1988).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/712707788

Meeting minutes, financial records, committee reports, newsletters, correspondence, publicity and fundraising materials, scrapbooks, and other records of the Foundation for Developmentally Disabled Children (FDDC) and its predecessor organizations affiliated with Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago (Ill.) since the 1920s to support treatment and research to help children with disabilities. Over the years, the organization extended its scope to include adults with disabilities as the children it sought to help became adults. Much of the collection pertains to fundraising events, including luncheons and dinner dances. When the organization changed name in 1991, it expanded to fund agencies beyond Michael Reese Hospital.
