Since 1989, Friends of Children’s Hospital has been dedicated to funding critical programs and projects that enhance the healthcare experience for young patients and their families.

From supporting Child Life Specialists who bring comfort during hospital stays to funding renovations that improve treatment spaces, every dollar raised through Clays for Kids helps provide hope, healing, and brighter futures for Mississippi’s children.
