Peter Pan Birthday Club
Join the youth philanthropy initiatives of the Peter Pan Children’s Fund and support Children’s Hospital. The fund’s mission is to educate and celebrate young philanthropists who support hospitals that care for children. The Birthday Club became the first official program of the Peter Pan Children’s Fund in the United States during the 1990’s. Since then thousands of children and teenagers have made monetary donations to children’s hospitals. Adults have joined in as well and over the years nearly half a million dollars has been raised to help sick and injured children. Visit the Peter Pan Birthday Club website to get started!

Children Fore Children Golf Tournament
Being held in May 2009
Children Fore Children, a youth golf tournament to benefit Children’s Hospital Foundation, is held at First Tee in Chesterfield, VA each spring. Golfers between the ages of 8-17 are eligible to enter. This event is hosted by the hospital’s Senior Board.

Children’s Mascot Mile
Part of our annual American Family Fitness 5k Walk and 10k Run
Held each fall, our American Family Fitness Walk/Run is kicked off by a one mile fun run for kids, called the Mascot Mile. This special event for children ages 5-10 lets kids race along a one mile course on the Hospital’s grounds. Area mascots cheer the runners at every turn, and all kids receive a participation ribbon and a goody bag full of treats as they cross the finish line!

Junior Volunteer Program
Junior Volunteers (between ages of 13-16) are invited to apply for our summer Junior Volunteer Program. Participants must be 13 years of age by June 1 of the summer program. Applications are available March 1 and may be obtained by contacting the Volunteer Coordinator at (804) 228-5920. There are a limited number of positions available for this program. After the application review process, positions are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Create Your Own Event
