Every day, sick kids are fighting for their lives.

These kids didn’t choose their battles. But you? You get to choose how this ends.

Their fight is our fight. We’re giving it 100%. But we can’t do it alone.


You have the power to change the future.

This isn’t a plea. It’s a call to action to step up and be part of the solution. Your support will fuel what's next in pediatric medicine—saving lives today and shaping healthcare for generations.

Join the fight.
Every child deserves 100%.























It’s 100% possible.
But we need you.

As Connecticut Children’s undertakes our most ambitious expansion yet, your support through the 100% Campaign helps ensure every tiny warrior gets the care they deserve. Together, we can transform the future of pediatric care for families across the region.

Our new eight-story, state-of-the-art tower

Help us launch advanced spaces for life-saving care, including an expanded NICU, Connecticut’s only pediatric Advanced Cellular & Gene Therapy Unit, an Acuity Adaptable Unit, and one of nine most comprehensive Fetal Care Centers in the nation.

Expanded emergency mental and behavioral health

Transform care for a growing number of children in crisis with safer, more supportive spaces that reduce hallway care, restore privacy and dignity for families, and give caregivers the tools they need to deliver exceptional care.

Advanced research and innovation

Power pioneering research and innovation that’s changing what’s possible in pediatric medicine—from bioengineering organs to developing new treatments and cures for some of childhood’s most complex conditions.

Care closer to home

Bring world-class pediatric specialty care closer to home, so more children can access advanced treatment and specialized services—found only in the nation’s top children’s hospitals—without leaving their families, communities, or support systems behind.


Every one of these kids has the power to change the world.

And you have the power to change theirs.

Cancer invaded Anastasia's body. But couldn’t conquer her.

When aggressive cancer didn't respond to treatment, Anastasia's family spent five weeks apart so she could receive a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. Today, ongoing therapies and clinical trials are helping keep cancer from returning—giving Anastasia the chance to spend less time fighting disease and more time discovering who she's meant to become.

Carter will never walk like other kids. But nothing can slow him down.

Carter lives with a rare muscular dystrophy that requires ongoing care from a team of specialists and future surgeries to preserve his mobility and health. Every advancement in treatment helps create more opportunities for Carter to learn, grow, and pursue the future he imagines for himself.

Sickle cell has shaped Nate's journey. But not his future.

As a toddler, complications from sickle cell disease led to multiple amputations and a lifetime of medical challenges. Today, Nate faces each day with resilience, supported by a care team that helps him manage painful crises earlier and live with greater confidence—so he can focus on being a kid, not a diagnosis.
