Let's Band Together and “Run for a Child”

“Run for a Child” by making a $10 donation to Wolfson Children’s Hospital. Every donor will receive red arm band bearing the name of a child who is a patient at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. When you cross the finish line of the Gator Bowl 5k, you will know that every step you ran is helping to raise funds to care for sick and injured children.

Here is why Wolfson Children’s Hospital needs your help:

Miracles happen every day at Wolfson Children‘s Hospital…a baby breathes on her own, a child with cancer receives a life-giving bone marrow transplant, a little heart is mended, broken bones become whole again….lives are healed.

The other miracle is that no child is turned away. Their doors are open wide, so every child will have access to comprehensive healthcare regardless of their ability to pay. Last year Wolfson Children’s Hospital provided over eleven million dollars of charitable and uncompensated care.

When you fill out the entry form for the Gator Bowl 5K, please consider donating an extra $10 to help sick and injured children at Wolfson Children’s Hospital.

Every runner who runs for a child will have a chance at the drawing for a special vacation.
