The 15th annual Phoenix Children’s Give-A-Thon raised more than $2.1 million last week.
The week-long August event allowed communities across Arizona to donate and support the care at Phoenix Children’s.
All money generated will directly benefit Phoenix Children’s Hope Fund, which finances resources including new medical equipment and technology.
“It is incredible to see $2.16 million raised through powerful storytelling that inspires our generous community to step up for the kids in Arizona.” Ryan Hatch, SVP/Market Manager Bonneville Phoenix, shared in a press release. “We are so grateful for our caring audiences, sponsors, team partners, and the hundreds of volunteers for their wonderful support of Give-A-Thon.”
This year’s Give-A-Thon was the first to return to Phoenix Children’s Thomas Campus since 2019.
Previous and current patients gathered in the transformed cafeteria to tell their stories, accompanied by Arizona Cardinals cheerleaders, Big Red, former hockey player Shane Doan, volunteers, and more.
“Every dollar given makes a difference, and this year we were once again able to see the generosity of people add up to meaningful and impactful support of Phoenix Children’s,” Steve Schnall, Phoenix Children’s senior vice president and chief development officer, stated.
Participants were encouraged to become a Champion of Hope with a monthly gift of $20 or a one-time gift of $240. Those who signed up as Champions of Hope gifted teddy bears in their name to existing Phoenix Children’s patients.
