Valley Children's is Excited to Announce This Year's Kids Day Raised $270,955!

Thank you to our media partners ABC30 Action News and The Fresno Bee for their continued dedication to this beloved community event; our Super Kid, Big Kid and Kid at Heart Sponsors for their incredible commitment to Valley Children's mission; and to the countless members of our community who gave so generously in support of our patients and families.

Since 1988, Valley Children’s has partnered with ABC30 and The Fresno Bee to orchestrate Kids Day. As one of the largest fundraising events in the Central Valley, Kids Day takes place in more than 20 communities. Since the inaugural Kids Day, this beloved community event has raised more than $10.4 million to meet the most immediate needs of the patients at Valley Children’s Hospital.

The community's generosity brings hope and healing to our patients and their families, like our 2021 Kids Day ambassador Elise, who is pictured above. Elise went in for a regular doctor visit when she and her parents received a recommendation from her doctor for some extra screening because the doctor heard a subtle clicking in her heart. They could not have expected that an unprecedented year would also bestow an unexpected diagnosis. Cared for by the expert team at Valley Children's, Elise would undergo a much-needed, life-saving heart procedure to allow proper blood flow to her lungs and body. After a five-day hospital stay, virtual visits and some extra screening time, Elise made a full recovery.

Today, Elise is even happier and more enthusiastic than ever. She loves ballet class and wants to be a teacher, just like her mom. While the year posed its challenges, the specialized care at Valley Children’s brought hope in an unimaginably difficult time. Through it all, Elise brought a sparkle that ignited happiness for everyone around her.

This Central Valley tradition continues to make an impact and allows us to provide life-saving care for generations to come. We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2022!
