What impact do you make?

When you support Courage Classic and Children’s Hospital Colorado, you see firsthand the difference your generosity makes for the patients and families we serve.
296,000+ children cared for each year

Philanthropy fuels the world-class care we provide for every child who needs us, regardless a family’s ability to pay. None of our work would be possible without generous donors who believe that a child’s life can and should be filled with limitless possibilities.

Ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the nation

Children’s Hospital Colorado was ranked top 10 in the country and No. 1 in both the state of Colorado and the region by “U.S. News & World Report”. There’s no children’s hospital better equipped to care for kids in a 1,000-mile radius—and supporters help make that possible.

Children’s Hospital Colorado is at the forefront of pioneering new treatments and cures, but many conditions are still not cured and many medical mysteries remain unsolved. Your support of Courage Classic empowers us to make discoveries that advance pediatric medicine and improve quality of life for kids.
