Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters

Vote for CHKD!

Rankings are out and we are #7 out of more than 300 candidates in the Pepsi Refresh Challenge (in the $250,000 category)!

That is fabulous and wonderful for Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters and couldn’t happen without your help.  We are excited about the opportunity to secure a $250,000 gift from Pepsi so thanks for continuing to vote every day in December and spreading the word. 

Share the news and vote up to three times/day this month:

1)    Once online at www.chkd.org/vote ; once registered, search for us in the $250,000 category.

2)    Once on your cell phone: Text to 104850 to 73774 (Pepsi)

3)    Once through your Facebook account:  search “Pepsi Refresh voting”, then “go to app”.  You can “share” the idea through your account to get others involved

After you vote the first time on any of these, it gets a lot easier on your return visit.

The two organizations with the most votes in the $250,000 category win so every day matters (including weekends). Thanks from all of the children.

CHKD wins award for involving youth in philanthropy

The hundreds of children and teens who poured Lemonade for a CHKD fund raiser not only quenched the thirst of customers, they inspired toasts from fundraising professionals. The CHKD Anthem LemonAid campaign, “Kids Helping Kids with Cancer,” was singled out for the best use of youth in a fundraising campaign by the Hampton Roads Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

During the three-day fundraiser, 240 children of from 5 to 17 created and hosted lemonade stands in their neighborhood, at swim meets, baseball games and church parking lots, raising $64,000 for CHKD’s cancer program. CHKD will receive the award at a ceremony Nov. 16 at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott.
