Grateful Families


Get Involved

After families have an experience with Children’s Health℠, they often search for ways to stay connected to the mission, share their story and express gratitude for the care received. As a not-for-profit health system, we depend on a community of supporters like you to enhance care, discover cures and build a healthier community for North Texas children. So, whether you choose to give financially, share your story, or get involved, you are making a difference in the lives of North Texas children.


Give Back

Children’s Health is a not-for-profit health system, and we rely on tax-deductible donations to provide lifesaving research and medical treatments, state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, and important programs. Our fundraising programs provide an opportunity for you to make a donation to honor a caregiver or department that provided extraordinary care during your experience with Children’s Health. To make a gift or learn more, please contact Annual Giving at annualgiving@childrens.com.
