Be a Genie and Fund The Need

Experience being a genie by funding the life-saving equipment and machines needed to support our communities’ sickest children when they are admitted into the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Children’s Hospital. In the PICU, kids fight for their lives. Your generosity will show over 500 children a year and their families that you care during their most difficult time. Be a real-life genie and help save a child’s life. Please plan to bid on the Fund the Need Auction on November 17.
