At Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, we know how hard it is to navigate your child’s illness or injury, especially when they are in the hospital. We’ve seen it, we’ve experienced it ourselves, and we believe no family should have to go through that process alone.
While we can’t take away childhood illness, we can show up for these families when they need us. Every gift helps relieve stress, restore hope, and ensure that no family faces their child’s health journey alone. By covering the cost of everyday needs like rent, gas, or groceries, we help families be able to focus on what really matters: their child.
As we head into the holiday season, we wanted to share a few ways you can be part of our work. From dining out to sipping your favorite coffee or shopping for the holidays, each simple act can help make a big difference for the children and families we serve.
Here are seven ways you can get involved:
- Give a Gift to Support Children • Colorado Gives Day is coming up on December 9th!
A gift to Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation goes a long way. When we receive a gift, the funds are almost immediately put to use supporting the families we serve. This year, be part of our big Colorado Gives Day fundraising push by giving a gift on December 9th. Even better, become a monthly donor and your gift will be matched through Colorado Gives! Learn more here. - Shop, Eat, and Drink!

- Host a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser
One of the most meaningful ways to support RMCHF is by sharing your story and hosting your own fundraiser. When people hear about your experience, they’re more likely to give generously — and together, we can make a real difference for children and families in need. Learn more here. - Hope for the Holidays – Give a Family a Brighter Holiday Season
Help bring joy to families facing tough times by adopting a family or making a contribution toward gifts and essentials this holiday season. Each year, we partner with healthcare professionals to identify pediatric patients and families in need — and your generosity brings hope, comfort, and smiles when it’s needed most. Learn more here. - Donate Toys or Diapers, or Host a Drive
On top of financial assistance, we also support families with tangible goods like toys, books, diapers, and car seats. You can donate new, unused items directly or even host a drive with friends, family, or your workplace. It’s a great way to build community and make a difference at the same time. Learn more here. - Host your own Fundraising Event
We love it when our community comes together to host an event to support our mission. Your event can be as simple as a dinner with friends or as extravagant as a golf tournament—or anything in-between! We’ll work closely with you to ensure your event is aligned with our needs and that you have what you need from us to make it successful. - Donate Your Excess Breastmilk
Did you know that RMCHF is home to Mothers’ Milk Bank? Through this program, we help provide donated human milk to hospitals and families across the country. This milk can be life-saving for premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit, and helps new parents jumpstart their own breastfeeding journeys. If you are a lactating parent and want to learn more about human milk donation, visit milkbankcolorado.org.
However you choose to give back this season, your support helps bring comfort, care, and hope to families across Colorado. Even a follow on social media can go a long way in spreading awareness. Your support makes such a big difference in the lives of pediatric patients and their families, and we truly can’t thank you enough!
