Donations from people like you make a measurable impact on children's lives.

Donate Today

Donations allow Children’s National to improve care and improve lives. Specifically, philanthropic support helps pioneer new treatments and therapies, fuels research to find cures to childhood diseases, and ensures that every child we care for can receive the same level of expert care. Our statistics – how many children we’ve treated, the value of our work in the community, and the number of families we reach throughout the world – only tell part of the story. The real impact of philanthropy is in the lives of children who have new hope for a healthy future.

Bennett's Story

Bennett recovered from brain cancer as a 2-year-old thanks to the ability of Children’s National to apply its research to his treatment. Says his mom: “The research behind the care they’re able to give is the difference between surviving and not surviving for a lot of kids.”

“I love the kids and their families. I don’t have kids of my own, and they’re what keep me here. You have to love the job to stay for 50 years!” ⭐️ Affectionately called the “mayor of the PICU,” patient care technician Pauline Barnes celebrated 50 years of service to Children’s National this month – a familiar face to staff and families. Pauline started at Children’s National in 1969 as an LPN in the Hematology Oncology unit. She also worked in a clinic, a 12-bed intermediate care unit, and the ED. But at the end of the day, the PICU has her heart! ⭐️ Thank you, Pauline, for your dedication and service to Children’s National! ⭐️#GROWUPSTRONGER #PeopleOfChildrens #ChildrensNationalProud #PICU #50years #legacy
