Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation launched its Make March Meaningful campaign running through the end of March, and a number of Peoria businesses are participating.
This is a way for residents to participate and give back by patronizing local businesses.
Monies collected will go to The Hope Fund — the most flexible and valuable way donors can support Phoenix Children’s Hospital. It allows the hospital officials to launch new programs, purchase equipment, conduct research and provide charitable care.
