Help Make Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs Possible

There’s no other place in the world like Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Since their start in 1855 as the nation’s first hospital devoted exclusively to the care of children, they have been the birthplace of countless innovations and dramatic firsts in pediatric medicine. Thanks to the generosity of donors who believe in their mission, they continue to make breakthroughs every day, whether providing lifesaving care to children with complex diseases or making each family’s journey to health a little easier.

Hospitalization can have a significant impact on a child. Your donations help support CHOP’s Patient and Family Services team to provide programs to help children and families cope with the hospital experience.

CHOP Ambassador Madison talks to Citadel about her "special button"

CHOP Ambassador Madison talks to Citadel about her "special button"

A few of the 2022 Ambassadors for CHOP's Parkway Run & Walk sat down with Citadel Credit Union CEO Jeff March to talk about their experience at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and their predictions for this year's event. The annual event raises funds for breakthrough pediatric cancer research and care at CHOP for kids like Madison, so the “special button and boo boo inside her head” can eventually be taken away forever. Madison's "special button" is her port, which is used to administer treatment at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to help shrink the large tumor that was found on her optic nerve and in her brain. You can learn more about Madison’s story and the other 2022 Ambassadors at parkway.chop.edu/ambassadors
