step we are all raising money and awareness for the pediatric patients" -Trang Dinh

Carolina For The Kids Foundation is the largest student-run, non-profit fundraising organization in North Carolina. We fund what medical insurance cannot cover for patients and their families at UNC Children's Hospital. We believe that our community can make a difference by helping remove the burdens associated with hospitalization, such as travel expenses, food and electricity for medical equipment. Since 1999, more than $6.6 million has been raised. You can read more about our work here.
