Your employer might also have a program to match your gift to Children’s Wisconsin. Please check with your company for more information.

For gifts of $15 or more, you’ll create even more positive impact, helping to provide comfort items like stuffed animals and plush stress management balls for in-patient kids and teens in Milwaukee and Neenah.
