Support Our Future

Miami Children's Hospital Foundation was incorporated in December 1976 as Variety Children's Hospital Foundation. The Foundation was created to raise funds and awareness for Miami Children's Hospital, which first opened its doors in 1950. In 1982, under the leadership of the first President, Ambassador David M. Walters, the Foundation began raising funds to develop a new hospital campus. His determination to help the hospital become a leader in pediatric medical care was inspired by the loss of his granddaughter Shannon to leukemia at the tender age of six. The first step was the organization of a professional staff, the second was to attract community leaders as Board Members and finally, to find a way to encourage public support for this important effort.

Today, Miami Children's Hospital Foundation's development efforts help fund:
*Education and training of doctors, nurses, and technicians
*Development of new and advanced medical programs
*The Research Institute
*Facility Development
