As a non-profit hospital, Children’s seeks philanthropic funding to enhance its programs and services. Our Affiliated Organizations are groups of philanthropically-minded individuals, just like you, who hold independent fundraising events in support of our mission.

Organizations affiliated with Children's and hundreds of volunteers organize more than 150 events each year to support the goals of the hospital.
