Throughout this year, our company is highlighting the organizations that AM Technical Solutions (AM) supports annually. You can view the entire list of charitable causes we support in our 2024 annual community calendar.
Today, we are spotlighting the Phoenix Children’s Foundation, the fundraising arm of Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The foundation organizes events and other programs to advance the hospital’s mission to provide world-class medical care to children in Arizona and beyond.
Because our company operates an office in Tempe and many of our employees live or work near Phoenix, this healthcare organization is dear to our hearts. Learn more about why we are proud to support Phoenix Children’s.
The Impact of Phoenix Children’s Foundation in Serving Families
No parent wants to see their child go through an extremely difficult season of medical care. But it helps to know that a hospital is doing everything possible to ease the burden.
Phoenix Children’s is driving toward a future where world-class pediatric care is available to any child who needs care. However, operating the hospital costs nearly $2.7 million per day. That’s where the foundation comes into play by helping raise funds to offset the cost of advanced medical care.
The hospital accepts all patients, but about 50 percent of families do not have access to the appropriate level of medical insurance to cover the costs of procedures and other care. Support from the community, especially businesses, helps close the financial gap.
Every gift to the foundation helps patients and family members who are weary from the experience. A simple donation can make a large impact, such as:
- $7 covers a meal voucher for the family to find a meal
- $25 covers a gas card for families to drive back and forth to the hospital
- $100 covers a red wagon to transport a child patient in the hospital
The foundation makes it simple for individuals or businesses to get involved and contribute to fundraising efforts. Consider the ways you can make a difference:
- Participate in an event: From golf tournaments to Big Dig for Kids, there are numerous events on the calendar for you and your team to participate.
- Claim the Arizona tax credit: You can help a child by investing in the quality of their care.
- Make a toy donation: If you would rather donate goods than funds, the foundation will gladly pass along gently-used toys to pediatric patients in need.
- Involve your business: Join our company by demonstrating your commitment to the local community in Phoenix.
We are proud to support an organization that significantly impacts kids and their families who need a helping hand during a difficult challenge. We invite you to step up and lean into a great cause. You or your business could change the trajectory of a child’s life.
