Gifts in Action
Your gift can make great things happen.
You already know that we are dedicated to treating every child who comes to us, regardless of the family’s ability to pay. But you may not know exactly how we can use your gift to make that happen.
Your donations make our world better.
When you give to UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation, you support treatments that bring healing and patient-centered programs that bring hope. You provide permanent resources to support and comfort patients and families, enhance the quality of care, and ensure moments of peace and normalcy for those whose lives are in crisis. Your gifts help children become their healthiest, happiest selves.
Your support powers advanced care that could save a child’s life—and so much more.
