About This Event

Why We Fundraise

Since 1988, Howard Hanna agents and employees have united to ensure that children receive the medical care they deserve—regardless of their family’s ability to pay. What began as simple in-office “Chow Chow” potluck fundraisers has grown into a powerful, multi-state mission providing support for pediatric free care programs and children’s hospitals across the country.

Today, the Howard Hanna Children’s Free Care Fund:

  • Partners with more than 20 children’s hospitals across several states

  • Helps families access life-saving treatments, therapies, and medical services

  • Raises over $1 million every year for free care programs

  • Has contributed more than $22 million since its founding

Where Your Bids Go

100% of auction proceeds support the Howard Hanna Children’s Free Care Fund, which directly benefits the pediatric programs and free-care funds within our partner hospitals. Your generosity helps children receive:

  • Emergency care

  • Cancer treatment

  • Specialized surgeries

  • Neonatal care

  • Mental health services

  • Therapies, rehabilitation, and critical support

Together, we give children the chance to heal, grow, and thrive.
