DIY Fundraising

When your company partners with Vanderbilt University Medical Center on a workplace giving initiative, you'll engage employees through unique peer-to-peer fundraising opportunities to help provide hope and healing to families who need it most. You can donate together in recognition of a company milestone, give back in honor of the care an employee’s family received, or even compete among teams to see who can raise the most funds.

FUNDRAISE

Virtual Toy Drive

When your company signs up to host a virtual toy drive, every dollar raised from your employees and customers goes to providing toys and special programming for patients at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Your gifts will help stock playrooms, support birthday and other milestone celebrations, make toys available at the bedside and so much more.

GET STARTED

Corporate Spotlight: Mars Petcare

The Facility Dog Program at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt was established through collaboration with Mars Petcare to support a full-time facility dog and a staff position for program coordination. The goal is to show the positive impact a facility dog can have on patients, families and staff. Through its Better Cities for Pets program, Mars Petcare is dedicated to bringing the healing power of pets to more children and families. Together with Mars Petcare, Monroe Carell will work to harness the power of pets to improve the patient health.
