Starting this Month, You Can Spread Holiday Cheer While Helping Sick and Injured Children
Through fuzzy ducks, Christmas parades and rides on Priscilla the Pink Pig, organizations from all over the metro area are working to support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta this holiday season. Families in metro Atlanta can spread holiday cheer and celebrate in numerous ways, all while supporting Children’s. Proceeds from the holiday events, initiatives and promotions below will raise funds to care for the hundreds of thousands of sick and injured children each year in Georgia.
Children’s is launching a digital campaign of social sharing this holiday season with a video called “Share the Hope.” The video gives viewers an honest look into the lives of patients at Children’s. Share a message of hope with the patients who will be spending their holidays at Children’s. Online donations will also be accepted during this time, with the initial contribution coming from Verizon Foundation, who has pledged a gift of $3 per message up to $30,000. Messages will be accepted through December 31, 2012 and will be displayed on closed-circuit TVs throughout the hospital during the last two weeks of the year.
