Ways to Give: Cumulative giving to any and all areas below will be counted towards your annual total
Give to our area of greatest need - The Kids Fund
Our Kid’s Fund ensures every child receives extraordinary care, regardless of his or her family’s ability to pay for treatment. Caring for kids includes costs adult hospitals do not have – from kid-sized equipment to kid and family-centered services not covered by insurance. Your gift to the Kids Fund, our most vital fund, is put to work immediately. Whether helping purchase new life-saving equipment or preemie diapers for our NICU, every dollar of your unconditional support impacts the most pressing needs of our patients, families, and our frontline caregivers. For more information contact Susan Hudlow at Susan.Hudlow@lcmchealth.org.
Corporate Giving
Sponsor one of Children’s Hospital’s signature events - Sugarplum Ball, Boo at the Zoo, or the Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade. Your business or organization can also make a financial contribution, host a point-of-sale campaign, or cause marketing fundraiser in your store front. Becoming a corporate partner is a powerful way to join us in our commitment to shape a healthier, happier future for Louisiana and position your brand as one who cares about the wellbeing of our kids.

Support Sugarplum Ball
Your support of the 42nd annual Sugarplum Ball is counted minus and goods and services received (ei: Auction Items or raffle tickets). Since the very first Sugarplum Ball in 1981, Ball patrons and supporters have helped raise more than $11.2M to further the hospital's vital mission, and to help expand essential programs and services, advance technology, innovate healthcare delivery, and ensure our ability to provide expert care for every child regardless of his or her family's ability to pay.
With your support, our 2024 Sugarplum Ball Co-Chairs, Quincy Crawford and Jessica Waguespack, aim to raise $1.5M in support of Children's Hospital - the most in the Ball's history.
Help build Walker’s Imaginarium
Help Children's Hospital and Kids Join The Fight build a first-of-its-kind 12,000 square-foot child enrichment center, named Walker's Imaginarium.
