Julia Hart Here's how hospitals can participate
The Peter Pan Children's Fund in fulfilling its mission to promote philanthropy by young people encourages the support of hospitals that care for sick and injured children.
Any hospital can participate in the youth philanthropy initiatives of the Peter Pan Children's Fund. The first step is for a child or teenager to select a hospital to be the beneficiary of their party or event.
If the inquiry comes first to the hospital, direct the child to the Peter Pan Children's Fund website to register and obtain The Peter Pan Gift Application, which will generate an additional $100 donation for the hospital.
The Peter Pan Children's Fund does not establish a dollar amount for donations because every child, regardless of means, will gain from the experience of giving.
We ask that the hospital respond to Birthday Club participants in the following manner:
- Welcome the child to the hospital for an official presentation.
- Explain how their gift may be used to help sick children.
- Mention the Peter Pan Children's Fund in hospital materials whenever possible.
- With parental permission, recognize the birthday child on annual hospital donor lists.
The hospitals on our list have benefited from the youth philanthropy programs of the Peter Pan Children's Fund. The list is current as of February 2008 and will be updated annually.
