YOUR IMPACT

Create breakthroughs for every child in our care.

Funds from the 31-Day Challenge help Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) meet its greatest needs.

As one of the region’s largest charities focused on children’s health, CHOP relies on donations to deliver breakthrough care. We continually assess the health and wellness needs of the communities we serve, match it against our current programs, and determine how we can close any gaps.

Adaptive Rapid Response

CHOP draws upon funds from the 31-Day Challenge whenever there is a need for quick action:

  • A discovery that needs to be fast-tracked
  • New technology that can potentially transform patient care or research
  • Innovations to improve patient support service
  • The hire of a leading expert at CHOP

Expanded Support Services

Examples of programs and initiatives supported by the unrestricted donations of prior years:

  • Music and pet therapy, as well as other Child Life activities
  • Free language services to families, including in-person, telephonic and video interpreting, and document translation
  • CHOP Mothers’ Milk Bank, an on-site resource at CHOP to provide pasteurized donor human milk to hospitalized infants
