Bronson Children’s Hospital Run & Walk

Raises Record Amount

A record-setting $216,822 was raised at the 2022 Bronson Children’s Hospital Run & Walk! Funds raised support projects and services for young patients and families. With more than 1,900 registered participants, generous sponsors and donors, and more than 250 volunteers, the event was a tremendous success. “The energy at this year’s Run & Walk was outstanding,” says Terry Morrow, president of Bronson Health Foundation. “The community showed up in such a strong way to let our young patients and their families know that they are supported and cared for. It was great to bring people together again after two virtual event years."

Funds from the event go to Bronson Health Foundation's Children's Hospital Fund, which helps provide programs including child life, art and music therapy, a NICU family liaison, new equipment and technology and much more. 

Next year’s Bronson Children’s Run & Walk is scheduled for Sunday, September 24, 2023!

New Expressive ArtsTherapy Program

Thanks to generous donors to Bronson Health Foundation, a new Expressive Arts Program is now available at the Bronson Cancer Center in Kalamazoo. This program is available for patients during their cancer treatment and recovery. A new gallery wall is also now on display, currently featuring the artwork of local expressive art therapist and three-time cancer survivor, Gay Walker. If you are interested in learning more about the expressive arts program, you can attend a virtual town hall on Wednesday, October 19 at 4:30 p.m. or you can support the program by making a gift to our Cancer Center - Kalamazoo Fund.

Keeping Babies Safe and Sound

Once babies in Bronson Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit grow big enough, they are provided with a new cotton sleep sack, designed to keep babies comfortable and safe. We are grateful to the generous donors who provided funding for more than 500 of these cozy wraps.

Bronson is committed to safe sleep practices and helping families continue those practices once they bring their babies home.
