Ways to Donate

No matter how you choose to support our mission, know that you make a difference.

The first moments a child and their family spend with us can be terrifying. From an ambulance speeding to our emergency room to a doctor’s office visit that reveals a cancer diagnosis, UPMC Children’s often meets families at the most challenging time in their lives. When people like you step up and get involved, those scary first hours and days can become comforting, hopeful journeys that lead to healthier tomorrows.

Gifts of all sizes help push the boundaries of what’s possible in pediatric medicine, provide excellent patient experience programming, and ensure that parents can focus on their child, not on the cost of their care.

There are countless ways to give, get involved or show your support. If you don’t see something listed below, let us help you find a meaningful way to express your concern and support for our patients and their families.

Toys and crafts help provide our patients with the ability to play and express themselves during hospitalization while meeting developmental, emotional, and educational milestones.

Help promote healing through play and creativity by purchasing an item from the hospital wish list, making a donation to our virtual toy drive page, or create your own fundraising page in support of the Child Life department.
