CONNECT. SHARE. INSPIRE.
Fall is here, and with it comes lots of meaningful and fun ways to stay connected and support Duke Children’s!

We had an incredible afternoon with our Duke Children’s Society members at our annual luncheon and during the inaugural PEDx Duke Children’s events. And it is never too early to get Radiothon on your calendar—we are celebrating our 30th anniversary this year, so save the date for December 10 and 11!

We invite you to read on to learn more about the upcoming events and be inspired by our patients’ stories. As always, thank you for being an important part of the Duke Children’s family of supporters.

MORE THAN TRICKS AND TREATS
Spirit Halloween stores pop up every spooky season, and every year their Spirit of Children philanthropy raises funds for Child Life departments at children’s hospitals around the nation. Spirit of Children has raised nearly $1 million for the incredible Child Life team at Duke Children’s, which works tirelessly to provide social and emotional support for our patients and their families.
CELEBRATING DUKE CHILDREN’S PHILANTHROPIC LEADERS
On September 20, members of our Duke Children’s Society – donors who give $2,500 or more during a fiscal year – enjoyed a day of camaraderie, learning, and celebration. Learn more about the day’s events, including the first-ever PEDx Duke Children’s talk and this year’s Duke Children’s Hero and Partner award recipients, and how you can also become a philanthropic leader for Duke Children’s.
