Volunteers Are the Heart of Seattle Children’s
The goal of Seattle Children’s is to be the best, and we couldn’t do it without our generous community of volunteers. Your volunteer efforts help us provide outstanding patient care, support research into groundbreaking treatments and ensure no child who needs us is ever turned away. Event volunteers are crucial in supporting Seattle Children’s mission to provide hope, care and cures to help every child live the healthiest and most fulfilling life possible.
Thank you for your support!
