Meet the 2026 Riley Champions presented by Kroger

Eleven Riley Children’s Health patients and their families will represent Riley Children’s Foundation as the 2026 Riley Champions presented by Kroger.

This program honors Riley patients and families across the state who demonstrate courage and commitment to helping others while navigating medical obstacles. Riley Champions are powerful Riley advocates who share their stories publicly and attend events benefiting Riley Children’s Foundation. This is the 16th year of the program.

Riley Champions are typically between the ages of 8-18 and demonstrate the "Chad Keown Spirit of Riley," showing a desire to leave a legacy of helping others.
