Become a Junior Champion

Inspiring the next generation

Whether starting a toy drive or hosting a lemonade stand, kids and families have been rallying together to help other kids since the hospital’s earliest days.

Every gift to Children’s Mercy surrounds families with comfort, compassion and care. It delivers love to kids in the hospital going through treatments, medical procedures and long hospital stays. And, it reaches beyond the walls of Children’s Mercy to make our community a safer, healthier and happier place for kids.

How Junior Champions works

When a child donates to the hospital, participation in the Junior Champions program is optional and free to join. The program is a simple, joyful way to celebrate generosity and encourage kindness. Children who choose to participate receive a Junior Champions keychain and can earn a special Junior Champions charm with each donation made to Children’s Mercy, small reminders that their compassion makes a big difference.
