Fundraiser Options for Schools

Pre-K through 12th Grade

We are so grateful that your institution has chosen to support Children’s of Mississippi! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind and giving spirit. Please know that our patients and their families join us in gratitude for your time and generous donation. Below are 3 fantastic fundraising options that your organization may host:

Coins 4 Kids Coin Drive

Coins 4 Kids generates excitement and raises money to help launch the Mississippi Miracles Radiothon each year. Participants raise funds for Children’s of Mississippi by urging fellow students, friends, and family members to contribute their spare change. And believe us, the spare change adds up and can make a difference in a child’s life! Thanks to our friends at Members Exchange Credit Union for their support of this special program. For more details, please visit umc.edu/MECUCoins4Kids or email Batsonevents@umc.edu.

Dance Marathon

Those that have a little extra time and energy, can host a Dance Marathon! The Middle School and High School Dance Marathon Programs spend a school year learning invaluable leadership and life skills while raising funds and interacting with children’s hospital patients and families. Their year culminates with a 2–4 hour event filled with dancing, games, and entertainment in celebration of the funds and awareness raised for Children’s of Mississippi. For more information, please contact Andrew Russell: 601-984-1930, or arussell3@umc.edu.
