  • Community

We are excited to be the beneficiary charity for the Pi Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity at the University of Wisconsin – Madison’s 4th annual ‘Life is Great’ event and help them raise $35,000. Read more here.

This donation was made possible thanks in part to the many schools and students that participated in our Fall School Challenge and via Don McLean’s Basketball Camp.

When we pull together as a community, everyone benefits, especially patients at CHLA.
