Empowering Pediatric Care through Community Support

Fundraising Highlights

The fundraiser was a huge success, raising an impressive $255,612 to support Wellstar Children's. This significant sum will directly contribute to the well-being of pediatric patients and their families. The continuous support from the community has been crucial in making this possible.

Christmas music and cheers filled the halls of Wellstar Children's Hospital for three days, from Thursday until Saturday. iHeart Radio and News 12 played a vital role by providing 72 hours of airtime and broadcasting live from the hospital. This exposure helped raise awareness and encouraged more people to contribute.

Hospital's Impact

Wellstar Children's is a not-for-profit hospital with a team of specialized doctors who can handle a wide range of pediatric conditions, including the most complex ones. Each year, more than 75,000 kids seek treatment here. The annual fundraiser allows individuals at home to be a part of this life-saving work and make miracles happen for these families.

Dr. Valera Hudson, the Pediatrician-in-Chief of Wellstar Children's Hospital, expressed her gratitude for the community's support. She emphasized that without philanthropy, no children's hospital can thrive. The funds raised stay directly at the hospital, ensuring that every penny is used to help the children in need.

Supporting the Hospital

Although the telethon is over, the support for the hospital continues. You can contribute at any time to help make a difference in the lives of these young patients. Every donation counts and can have a profound impact on their recovery and well-being.

The Children's Hospital of Georgia relies on the generosity of the community to provide the best possible care. By supporting this hospital, you are becoming a part of something greater and helping to create a better future for pediatric patients.
