Make an Impact with Your Fundraising!
Whether you're racing or simply raising, every dollar you fundraise helps provide world-class care for Mississippi's children. You can sign up as a race participant and add fundraising to your run or join us as a Children’s Champion (fundraising-only, no running required).
How Fundraising Works
👤 Fundraise as an Individual:
- Every participant—whether running or fundraising as a Children’s Champion—will receive a personal fundraising page.
- Donations made to your page will count toward your individual total and help you qualify for exclusive fundraising rewards.
👥 Fundraise as a Team:
- You can create or join a team when you register.
- Each team member will have an individual fundraising page, but all donations made to team members will also count toward the team’s overall goal.
- Teams can set a collective goal and work together to maximize their impact for Friends of Children's Hospital!
