The Impact is Felt

While the final tally is still pending – you helped our Children’s Miracle Network partners raise more than $3.8 million to support Nationwide Children’s Hospital in 2022! That is extremely impressive – even more so when you consider that amount is raised primarily with ‘spare change.’

Coupled with your generosity, we are extremely grateful for our corporate partners and their dedicated associates for making these giving opportunities available. They actively share our mission to help children locally with our excellent care, no matter the family’s ability to pay, and to benefit children around the world with groundbreaking research.

Throughout the year, while you are shopping, consider visiting these Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals partners to support Nationwide Children’s through campaigns they run throughout the entire year.

Are You a Secret Admirer?

Every year, Nationwide Children’s Hospital receives gifts from supporters who, unbeknownst to us, have included the hospital in their estate plans. These surprises are encouraging and inspiring but leave us wishing we could have honored the donor by thanking them during their lifetime.

Making a planned gift to Nationwide Children’s is a significant decision. You are providing for future generations of children and creating a legacy that makes a lasting statement about what mattered to you most.

When you make us aware of your intention to leave a gift to Nationwide Children’s in your will or trust, we will welcome you as a member of the Kilbourne Society. Named for Colonel James Kilbourne and Mrs. Anna Kilbourne, founding members and lifetime supporters of Nationwide Children’s, the Kilbourne Society is designed to provide personal recognition to these donors. As a member, you will be invited to special events, be included on our donor recognition wall (or remain anonymous if you prefer) and have a oneon-one relationship with our planned giving staff who can offer assistance customized to your needs and goals.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Across the nation, golf events that raise crucial funds to support a cause are par for the course. Thanks to our friends at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, 2022 was a hole-in-one!

The 47th playing of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday was held in May 2022, with Billy Horschel the winner by four strokes. But the real winners of the tournament were the Memorial’s collaborating charitable partners, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s Eat.Learn.Play Foundation, and the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation. The 2022 tournament raised $4.151 million for Nationwide Children's and the collaborative programs of the three partners, the first time the Tournament’s charitable giving total topped $4 million. Since it began in 1976, the Memorial has raised nearly $46 million in donations to charity, with nearly $32 million going to Nationwide Children’s.

A short drive to the south, the Korn Ferry Tour hosted the 16th edition of the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship in August at The Ohio State University Golf Club – Scarlet Course, with 120 golfers from around the world. The Championship also brought in more than $3.3 million for Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the second year in a row it’s raised more than $3 million!

As Tim Robinson, CEO of Nationwide Children’s, said, “the tournament not only supports our patients; it also supports our research and discoveries, ultimately benefiting children with cancer all over the world. The Championship and its sponsors, volunteers and spectators make a real difference in the lives of families. Nationwide Children’s is so grateful to be part of this tremendous event.”

We’re extremely grateful for all that the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, and the thousands of fans who attended this year’s tournaments have done for our patients and their families.
