More than 3,100 participants, sponsors and donors descended on the Dartmouth Green in Hanover on Sunday, October 20 and raised $825,000 at the 19th annual CHaD HERO. This community event provides funding for critical child and family support services at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD) and throughout the Dartmouth Health Children’s system.
“I’m thankful to our incredible CHaD Hero participants, donors and sponsors who helped raise critical funding for services to families in our community and beyond,” said Keith J. Loud, MD, Physician in Chief of Dartmouth Health Children’s. “They help us bring the best care where it is needed most and support our commitment to treat every child regardless of their ability to pay – that is what makes all our participants heroes today.”
Since its inception, the CHaD HERO has raised more than $10 million to support children and families at Dartmouth Health Children’s who receive expert, compassionate care and benefit from the latest discoveries in child health research.
Fundraising efforts are ongoing; for more information, visit: CHaDHERO.org.
