Our CHaD Champions are companies that use their influence to find creative ways to involve their staff, their vendors, and their customers in support of Dartmouth Health Children's. They provide support that is not tied to specific fundraising events, but relies on the initiative of the company. CHaD Champions not only contribute financially, but also broaden the base of our supporters significantly.

C&S Charities
C&S Charities Inc. is a non-profit organization that was established in 2010 as the coordinating entity of C&S Wholesale Grocers' annual charity golf tournament, "Tee Up for Kids." Held each year in August, this golf event has raised millions of dollars for pre-selected high-impact organizations including Dartmouth Health Children's. Over time their support has made an incredible positive impact in the areas of childhood cancer and childhood hunger.
Cumberland Farms
A little sip can make a big difference, and Cumberland Farms is doing just that. The Cumberland Farms Cups for Kids Campaign raises money for us each year through the sale of iced coffee in their retail locations. The company is committed to pediatric care and the program has benefited children's hospitals throughout the Northeast for over five years.
Dunkin' Donuts
Local Dunkin' Donuts franchisees are committed to serving their communities by supporting local children's hospitals. Money collected on Iced Coffee Day, held each year in May goes to improve the health and well-being of children and families in the area. We are grateful to be a designated charity, with donated funds supporting our Child Life program.
Irving Fuel the Care
Irving Oil raises funds at their service stations across the Northeast to support their "Fuel the Care" program. This program provides much-needed fuel vouchers families at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and other children's hospitals. These vouchers help ease some of the financial stress so families can focus on their child's healthcare needs. Learn more about this important support program for our families.
Kohl's Department Stores
Kohl's Cares for Kids supports children's hospitals across the country through the sale of stuffed animals and children's books. Four times a year a new children's author is featured with characters from the book brought to life in the huggable stuffed toys. The Kohl's Safe at Home program, part of our Injury Prevention Center, provides important information and devices to help keep kids safe. In addition, Kohl's volunteers are frequent participants in our events.
New Hampshire Fisher Cats
The Fisher Cats Annual New Hampshire Baseball Dinner has become a "must attend" event for fans, featuring baseball greats from the Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, as well as up and comings from the Fisher Cats' line up. The dinner generates support for Dartmouth Health Children's, the Ted Williams Museum and the Fisher Cats Foundation.
