About us Latest News Corporate Partnerships: Autumn Update This past quarter has seen some amazing support from our corporate supporters, and we want to say a huge THANK YOU for all the fundraising undertaken in support of our hospitals. As we look ahead, we’re excited to share our upcoming plans, including our Christmas Sparkle Champaign, a fun Reindeer Run event and our "Balls to Cancer" fundraising ball.
