CHaD Ambassadors give a face and heart to our children’s hospital.
CHaD Ambassadors are an inspired group of patients and their families who share their stories, support our causes and make lasting friendships. We welcome all patients and their families.
Ambassadors raise awareness of our programs and services and share their importance to the well-being of children in our communities.
Ambassadors participate in meaningful ways to show their support of the care and compassion they experience. Ambassadors are our guests of honor, speak on our behalf, attend our hosted fundraising events and more. There are many ways to get involved. Join us for opportunities that are fun and comfortable for you!
Most fun time ever, especially talking with other families about Mayra’s accomplishments in overcoming her many medical obstacles.

My journey with CHaD started when I was diagnosed with leukemia. After I finished my treatment I decided to join the Ambassador Program. As a CHaD Ambassador I am able to share my story at events on behalf of the incredible staff and hospital that helped me through my treatment.
