At Children’s Harbor, we believe in the transformative power of generosity, especially during the holidays. This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join with us in support of families facing unimaginable challenges through our Family Emergency Assistance Fund. This year, we’re also giving back! By donating, you’re automatically entered into our raffle to win Children’s Harbor merchandise. Winner announced tomorrow, December 3!
The emergency fund is a lifeline for families of seriously ill children. So far this year, we've distributed over $100,000 to help cover essentials like food and housing—relieving stressors identified during counseling and allowing parents to focus on what matters most: their child’s recovery.
Your gift can make a difference. Join us this Giving Tuesday to offer meaningful relief to families in crisis. Every dollar supports families, helping ease their burden and bring comfort when it’s needed most.
Double your impact!
The Ferguson Family Charitable Foundation has agreed to match every gift up to $5,000. Don't miss this opportunity to double your impact this Giving Tuesday!
