How You Can Help

You can join us in our vision of providing the best possible support, care, and comfort for children and families coping with cancer/blood disorders. There are many ways you can help, but no matter which one you choose, your generosity will make an important difference in the life of a child. For more information on giving to Children’s, visit the Foundation of Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota page.

The Stars of Caring program is an exceptional way to show you care. Individuals can make a donation in honor of joyous occasions such as births, birthdays, and anniversaries. Gifts can be a way to express sympathy, concern, or to remember a loved one by making a memorial gift. You also can give to honor a doctor or other caregiver at Children’s. Contributions can be designated to specific funds. Children’s will send an acknowledgment on your behalf to the person(s) you honor. For more information on giving a tribute or memorial gift, call the Children’s Foundation at (651) 855-2800.

Events such as Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic or Thank God for Kids provide important financial assistance to Children’s families. See a full calendar of events that benefit Children’s.

Cancer Kids Fund at Children’s of Minnesota supports over 80 programs that provide day-to-day support, entertainment and education to families who have become part of the hematology/oncology program. Funds support integrative medicine services, the pain and palliative care program, research on the effects of cancer, educational events for children, families, and nursing staff, and many other services.

Volunteering at Children’s is a great way to help families dealing with a cancer or blood disorder diagnosis. Roles may range from clerical support positions to interacting directly with children and their families. Visit Children’s Volunteer Web page for current opportunities and applications.
