How You Can Support Us
BIG-TO-DO — A Benefit for The Children’s Program
The annual BIG-TO-DO benefits The Children’s Program which meets the comprehensive medical, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of pediatric patients and their family with long-term care, the Camp STARS bereavement programs, and hospice services in the home and at the Hospice Atlanta Center.
The most costly care we provide is to pediatric patients at the end of life. We consider it our calling and a privilege to care for these patients, but we incur significant costs for which we receive limited reimbursement. Your support will help us care for pediatric patients and their families regardless of their ability to pay at a very difficult time in their lives.
2013 BIG-TO-DO recap
Thank you sponsors and guests! We sold nearly 1000 tickets. Families enjoyed a day of winter fun on Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park. The event, held February 10, 2013, raised more than $70,000 for direct pediatric patient care and an additional $80,000 in pro-bono media coverage to raise awareness for the pediatric program. Kids of all ages had a blast snow tubing, making snowmen, shooting snowballs, climbing through the snow tunnels, making s’mores over an open fire and dancing with the Snow Angel.
