Kids love to help kids
Children who learn to give to others at an early age will continue to be philanthropically involved throughout their lives. Kids Caring & Sharing offers students simple ways to help other children by fundraising for Riley’s pediatric research through their schools.
Kids Caring & Sharing
Funds raised help Riley doctors and scientists search to find new treatments and cures for kid through cancer research, diabetes research, and research into many childhood heart, lung and genetic defects.
There are endless ways school groups can raise funds to support Riley’s pediatric research programs, including:
