Become a Children's Center Champion

Champions like those in the stories above are a select group of six to eight outgoing kids with compelling stories who are excited to serve as dedicated spokespeople for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. In this role, champions and their families will help raise awareness and donations by actively participating in JHCC signature fundraising events. Champions will also take part in media appearances and be featured in Children’s Miracle Network marketing materials and donor stewardship pieces.

JHCC Champions should be:

• Current or former patients at Johns Hopkin Children’s Center between the ages of 0-18 years
• Comfortable sharing their story (with parent/caregiver support) in person and/or, through recorded audio/video, print, photography and written formats
• Able to attend at least three (3) JHCC corporate events such as golf tournaments, Dance Marathon celebrations, Costco Wholesale’s Midway to Miracles, etc.
• Willing to be featured in and attend the Mix 106.5 Radiothon in February and the Miracles in Motion 5K Run/Walk in September.

Champions vs. Patient Family Ambassador: What's the Difference?

While both roles offer the opportunity to represent Johns Hopkins Children's Center, there are some key differences. Ambassador families offer flexible, ongoing support and community connection, while Champions are a smaller, selected group that commits to a year of higher-visibility advocacy, engagement and fundraising.
