The Need
America’s children are facing increasing challenges
to their health and well-being, ranging from the growing numbers of uninsured families
to the steadily climbing statistics on childhood obesity. At the same time, funding
for children’s healthcare from public and private payers is steadily shrinking.
In the past, charitable organizations have played a valuable role in generating
financial support for children’s hospitals, yet there remained an unmet need
among many children’s hospitals. A significant gap existed in this support
system, as children’s hospitals around the country, in both small communities
and major metropolitan areas, had no access to a national fundraising mechanism.
In answer to this need, and the needs of children facing serious health issues,
Together for Kids was founded. As a new kind of inclusive fundraising organization,
Together for Kids seeks to provide children’s hospitals throughout the country
with the resources they need to treat children affected by serious illness or injury,
as well as to tackle today’s toughest pediatric health issues. Together for
Kids ensures that hospitals committed to the health and wellness of children can
have access to funds for advanced medical technology, expert medical staff, up-to-date
treatment options, community education and advocacy programs, updated facilities
and the latest insights in medical research.
