Community Fundraising Events Make a Big Difference

It’s never been easier to make an impact on Hasbro Children’s patients and their families … From kids’ lemonade stands to office dress-down days, every community fundraising effort, big or small, makes a difference. And even kids can make a difference! Just like, 8-year-old Teagan (pictured above), who participated in the Tori Lynn Andreozzi Foundation’s Pay It Forward initiative. She organized a dress down day at her school and worked with her local police departments and businesses to gather boxes and boxes of band aids and craft kits for the Tomorrow Fund Clinic. Local police even gave Teagan an escort to deliver her donation! Learn about hosting your own fundraiser

Donors just like you help to make a difference every day. Thank you for being part of the Hasbro Children's family.
