Your Impact through Fundraising for CHOC Every effort you have made through CHOC Raise Up gives each patient hope for a healthier, vibrant lifetime. Led by fundraisers like you, our community’s generosity is
more than dollars and cents—you have raised the bar for what’s possible.
Through CHOC Raise Up, we have collectively raised over $1.9 million to date. You have enabled CHOC to treat over a quarter-million children each year.
Your 2023 fundraisers helped CHOC offer over $182 million in community benefits like pediatric healthcare resources, behavioral health, disease and injury prevention
and volunteer leadership. More than $164 million of those benefits cover
uncompensated care for CHOC patients—ensuring that every child receives
treatment.
For every 5k, bake sale, benefit dinner, gaming livestream, holiday party, creative fundraising incentives and more, thank you for proving that we’re stronger and healthier together!
When you take part in CHOC Raise Up, you also become part of grateful family
stories like the Jewells, whose daughter Katrina’s diabetes diagnosis and treatment
at CHOC inspired KatrinaKures—a fundraiser that has raised more than $250,000
for diabetes research at CHOC. Read Katrina’s Story.
