Fundraising
Why is fundraising a crucial part of Corporate Cup?
Now, more than ever, the dollars you raise are critical. Every dollar raised will ensure children have access to the healthcare they deserve and that we can meet the needs of our patients and families. Your fundraising allows us to support families facing financial challenges, deliver care in underserved neighborhoods and realize our vision for a healthier future for every child.
