Meet our chairs and learn why they chose to get involved in helping fundraise for Children’s.

With support from our community—especially Atlanta area leaders who believe whole-heartedly in the Mission of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta—we can transform the future of pediatric healthcare across Georgia and beyond.

The men and women who have stepped up to chair Never Settle: A Campaign for Kids are dedicated to helping us build a new hospital for tomorrow that will create more space for patients and families, as well as offer more amenities, greater access to care and some of the most advanced technology available in pediatric medicine.

Their leadership and commitment will help make sure Georgia’s kids have access to the comprehensive care they deserve—and not just today, but for generations to come.
