This document provides an introduction to development and fundraising. It outlines the priorities and activities of the Heal Sick Children Campaign, which helps raise funds for Texas Children's Hospital. The campaign works to identify fundraising goals, communicate the need for support, build donor relationships, engage volunteers, and establish programs to secure donations. However, it does not ask families for donations in clinical settings, surprise donors, dictate where money goes, or determine the hospital's priorities. The campaign aims to help through meaningful gifts that provide more than just medicine.
