Are you looking for a way to make a big impact for kids while sharing your passion for children’s health with your coworkers? You can start a workplace giving campaign and encourage your team members to donate in support of kids who rely on Dayton Children’s.
Many businesses allow employees to set up donations through payroll deduction, making it simple to give. Dayton Children’s can provide customized, co-branded campaign promotional materials and a customized web landing page to make giving easy even for remote employees.
Local medical equipment manufacturer MidMark has “adopted” Dayton Children’s as one of their organization’s preferred charities, fundraising in a number of ways year-round to support our kids and families.In addition to encouraging employees to give through their payroll deduct program, MidMark hosts an annual bowling party, benefiting Dayton Children’s, and the company matches all of the funds raised up to $7,500!
The company has a special connection to the hospital. Employee Renee Browder’s son, Zach, suffered serious burns at age 11 when he fell into a bonfire. Zach was rushed to Dayton Children’s burn unit. He endured severe second- and third-degree burns that covered 30% of his body. He spent more than two weeks at the hospital, enduring numerous skin grafts to the damaged areas, but every day, Zach got a little better. Renee, was by her son’s side throughout his entire stay, as the whole family was educated on the next steps in his journey. “They all truly cared about Zach,” says Renee, “The doctors and nurses explained each step to him, which made him feel more comfortable throughout the entire process.”
Renee is now passionate about supporting other kids like her son, who depend on the specialized pediatric care only Dayton Children’s can provide.
