Support Child Life at East Tennessee Children's Hospital
Who We Are:
We are UT for ETCH and we are a group of four students from the University of Tennessee who are partnering with East Tennessee Children's Hospital (ETCH) to raise money to provide health care to children across Knoxville. The (501)(c)(3) non-profit organization has been providing top-tier healthcare for children in Tennessee since 1937 and is focused on making the next generation of children happier and healthier.
What We Need:
To ensure the best care for all children around Knoxville, ETCH provides a program called “Child Life”. This program is designed to focus on the mental health of children and helping them adjust to the hospital and their own illnesses. Health care does not only focus on the physicality of being in the hospital but it should focus on the mental health aspect as well. Being in a hospital is challenging on many levels and making sure children understand why they are there is crucial. This program is run fully on donations and help from pediatric specialists to create a brighter future mentally for children.
Our goal for this fundraiser is to successfully raise $1000 to help the “Child Life” program at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. Even the small goal of $1000 could help ensure the mental well-being of one child’s future. For us to successfully help this program, we need to meet our goal of $1000 or more to ensure the continuation of this program.
How It Helps:
Raising money for ETCH will help the greater Knoxville area by ensuring that the next generation of citizens will be happier and healthier from receiving the proper health care as a child. We want to recognize the mental toll being in a hospital can have on a child and with this program we can ensure a happier future for the next generation. This will also reassure parents that when they walk through the doors of the hospital their child will receive the best care possible, both mentally and physically.
