School Event
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has cared for thousands of children every year and touched the lives of a million more…maybe even a child right in your own school. What better way to show your support than considering planning your very own fundraising event at your school.
Organizing a fundraising event, whether you're planning a sponsored race or a bake sale, is a wonderful way to get your students involved and touch the lives of kids who rely on Children's Hospital for care, cures and hope.
And, you don't need experience to make your event a success — just the energy and enthusiasm to make it happen. The information here will help you get started.
