Get Ready to become a Hero for Hope

Tune in to the 12th annual ABC15 Telethon benefiting Phoenix Children’s on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, from 6 a.m. to 10:35 p.m. Throughout the day, ABC15 and Arizona 61 will air impactful patient and hospital stories that will inspire you. 

Every day, sick and injured kids in Arizona and beyond visit Phoenix Children’s for critical lifesaving medical care. With the support of our generous community, we can provide hope, healing and the best family-centered care for children and families in need.

How to Become a Hero for Hope

Because we know these stories will inspire, we encourage you to become a Hero for Hope with a monthly donation of $20, or a one-time gift of $240. With your donation, a Phoenix Children's patient will receive a superhero sidekick in your name!

All funds raised during the ABC15 Telethon benefit the Hope Fund, which empowers us to quickly address emerging health care challenges and seize opportunities to enhance patient care. Donations to the Hope Fund are invested in: 

  • State-of-the-art equipment and technology  
  • Cutting-edge research and clinical trials  
  • Innovative clinical programs  
  • Family-centered services
