Foundation Events
Summer Toy Drive
Toys, games, or activity supplies are hugely important to kids and their families while spending time in the hospital. While playing with toys helps chase away boredom Child Life Specialists also use toys to help patients learn about upcoming procedures, teach self-care, and reduce anxiety.
Please help stock the Toy Room shelves with new toys, board games, and other activity materials in great demand daily!
Woody Hayes Celebrity Classic
The Annual Woody Hayes Celebrity Classic, organized by the Development Board of Nationwide Children's Hospital, will take place on Monday, June 13 at New Albany Country Club.
About the Foundation
In 1892, a group of citizens held a sale to raise money for the care of sick, impoverished children. That effort led to the opening of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in 1894. For more than a century, we have existed to care for every child, for every reason.
The Foundation is the fundraising arm of Nationwide Children’s. Our job – with your help – is to ensure much needed funds are available for innovative research, emerging trends in pediatric health, and to react to our ever changing world. Philanthropy ensures that we can dream big.
Over 100 years… That is how long charity, donations, and generosity have enabled us to help children. With your help, we can add another century to our distinguished history.
The Nationwide Children's Foundation serves to further the mission of Nationwide Children's Hospital while meeting donor philanthropic goals. Nationwide Children's Hospital is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN: 31-1036370)
