How You Can Help

The care we provide at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center benefits thousands of families who come to Duke every year from around the region, the nation, and the world to find healing and hope.

The research we accomplish saves and enhances the lives of many more thousands of young people who may never set foot inside any of our facilities, but who will benefit from a novel surgical technique perfected by Duke pediatric surgeons, a vaccine that Duke pediatric immunologists were among the first to test, or a new diagnostic technology refined for use in children.

Your options for supporting our endeavors at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center are as varied as the children we treat. You may want to make your gift today or partner with us to plan a transformational gift to underwrite research that could lead to a cure, fund a program to enhance the quality-of-life of our patients, or lay the foundation to build the future of Duke Children's. You may want to share your talents or host your own event.

With so many opportunities to help Duke Children's--we're sure you'll find an option that's personally rewarding. No matter which route you take, your generosity will make a difference in the lives of our young patients and their families.
