Fundraising Events and Programs
Family Night at Six Flags
Over the last 41 years, Family Night at Six Flags has proven to be a memorable event and has become an annual tradition for many Texas families. The 2010 Family Night at Six Flags is scheduled for Friday, April 9, 5:00 to 11:00 p.m. with something for everyone throughout the 212-acre park from pulse pounding roller coasters for big kids to the gentler options in the land of Looney Tunes.
Plan to enjoy the fun evening with family and friends as we support and celebrate the vital treasure that is Children's.
Critical care needs funded by the Auxiliary through Family Night at Six Flags sponsorships have included life-support and surgical equipment, patient service improvements, intensive care needs and critical training programs.
This event would not be possible without the generous support of local corporate sponsors.
For additional information, please contact the Committee Chairs:
Debbie Brock, Gretchen Hirschey or Audrey Schmit.
Breakfast with Santa
Since December 1989, families have greeted Santa over a delicious seated breakfast during the annual Breakfast with Santa event held at the Adolphus Hotel. Scheduled for Saturday, December 5, 2009 immediately preceding the Capital One Bank Adolphus Children's Parade, this event has become a tradition that quickly sells out and features pictures with Santa, live entertainment, and reserved bleacher seats to watch what is now known as the "Miracle on Commerce Street."
Children's Corner Gift Shop
The hospital's gift shop, known as the Children's Corner Gift Shop, was created by and is managed by the Women's Auxiliary. Located in the hospital's Tower D on the first floor. The shop offers speciality gifts, magazines, greeting cards, stuffed animals, games, Mylar balloons, candy, Children's memorabilia and more for sale to visitors and families. Women's Auxiliary members help staff the shop, which is open seven days a week. Funds from the sales of items in the gift shop have contributed significantly to the hospital.
The Gift Shop is the Auxiliary's second largest fundraiser. It was started in 1967 and 100% of the profits are returned to Children's.

Christopher Radko™ Ornament
We are thrilled to offer this Christopher Radko™ designed ornament inspired by 7-year-old, Children's patient, Jensen "Jake" Moock, Jr.'s artwork. Jake is a budding artist whose love for drawing often finds it way into his daily activities. This ornament is available online at www.childrens.com/shop and in the gift shop at both Children's Medical Center Dallas and Children's Medical Center Legacy in Plano. The ornament retails for $55.00 plus tax. Proceeds from the sale of the ornament will support critical services at Children's.
