Our beneficiary: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

We are excited to call Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) our charity partner for this year's FESTIVAL OF TREES! By donating 100% of all funds to the Children’s Fund at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, we are trying to help closing the gap between resources and breakthroughs for the patients who need it most. Whether it is to ease the financial burden on patient families, fast track a research discovery or provide healthcare resources to members of the Philadelphia community, funds from the FESTIVAL OF TREES will fuel the critical work CHOP leads to transform children’s lives.

 

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is the nation's first hospital devoted exclusively to the care of children. Since their start in 1855, CHOP has been the birthplace for countless breakthroughs and dramatic firsts in pediatric medicine.
