Lift the burden that keeps a child from receiving the quality care they need and deserve.

Parents with a sick child face so many worries — affording their children’s care should not be one of them.  Each year more than 35,000 children and families struggle to cover costs associated with care. Thanks to the generosity of donors, for more than 70 years the Free Care Fund has helped to cover the cost of free and uncompensated services for every child who needs the expert and compassionate care of UPMC Children’s, but whose family cannot afford it.

When UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh opened its doors in 1890, its mission was to provide care to sick and injured children regardless of their family’s ability to pay. 130 years later, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh maintains this commitment of care for our region’s children thanks to your generous support of the Free Care Fund.

Giving that Matters

A $25 gift can go a long way in ensuring that every child receives the quality care they deserve. For those who want to make an even bigger impact, consider giving $100 – a generous contribution that can change lives and create brighter, healthier futures.

Become a Hero in Healing by making your gift recurring! Your continued generosity allows us to reach even more families in their time of need.

During telethon, your giving will have double the impact, thanks to a matching gift from our sponsors. Every dollar you contribute will be matched, making your support go even further.
