Host an Event

Organize a community fundraiser


You can create a meaningful event in your community that will benefit kids receiving care at Children’s Mercy and support discoveries that will help future generations of children heal and thrive.

Whether it's a 5K run, a lemonade stand, a golf tournament, or a dance party, we'll help you plan and reach your fundraising goals all while helping kids and families in the Kansas City region.
