We Are Almost There!
Thanks to the help of hundreds of businesses, numerous organizations and about 3000 individuals, we have raised over$17 million toward the $20 million Just for Kids Kampaign (JFKK) goal!
The first $8.5 million received completed phase one of the Just for Kids Kampaign in June 2010 and paid for construction of the WakeMed Children’s Hospital – the first and only Children’s Hospital in Wake County.
The second $8.5 million received is allowing construction to get underway for the renovation and expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
The remainder yet to be raised is needed to enhance and increase pediatric services and programs.
Can you help us cross the finish line?
WakeMed Children’s Hospital is one of the busiest in the state and WakeMed’s Raleigh Campus operates the only Level IV NICU in Wake County – the only local provider that can step in to help the smallest and most critically ill newborns and provide much-needed support for family members.
Your support will have a direct and positive impact on pediatric healthcare in Wake county.
“We have been blessed with tremendous support from the WakeMed family including administration, physicians, employees, and volunteers, as well as from our community’s leaders, volunteers, past patients, and businesses. By continuing to work together toward our common goal, we will provide even greater access for children to state-of-the art health care facilities and technology as well as help recruit additional pediatric specialists so children and families can receive needed health care services closer to home,” added Bill Atkinson, president and CEO, WakeMed Health & Hospitals.
Please share with your friends, family, coworkers and business partners about the importance of this project. Everyone can become a part of the movement by signing up for free email updates, sharing your stories, making a contribution and helping us spread the word. Together, we can raise the needed funds.
