Business Owners on Mission to Make This March a ‘Meaningful’ One
Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation launched its Make March Meaningful campaign this week. Throughout the month, dozens of businesses will host events and promotions benefiting Phoenix Children’s. Funds collected will be donated to The Hope Fund—the most flexible and valuable way donors can support Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
The Hope Fund allows Phoenix Children’s Hospital to launch critical new programs, purchase essential equipment, conduct cutting-edge research, provide charitable care and much more.
“We are so excited to launch this Make March Meaningful campaign because it is not only another way for donors to get involved, but it also allows us to keep growing all of our programs that are saving the lives of these incredible children,” said Steve Schnall, senior vice president and chief development officer of Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation.
