Give today to help Georgia's kids

Your donation could make a significant difference in the lives of children needing pediatric care, proving they are not alone in their healing journey.

By symbolically adopting an animated woodland animal, you can create a permanent memory on the digital forest wall inside the new Arthur M. Blank Hospital. Your animal will be a part of a vibrant, interactive forest scene, a unique celebration of childhood wonder brought indoors for our patients and their families to enjoy, and a testament to your support for pediatric care.

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is deeply grateful for your generosity. As a token of our appreciation, we will send you a special keepsake package. This package includes a watercolor print of the animal you sponsored, a certificate of authenticity, and a heartfelt thank you. It's our way of reminding you of the impact you've made on pediatric care.

About Arthur M. Blank Hospital

Opening September 29, 2024, Arthur M. Blank Hospital is a 2-million-square-foot facility that will allow Children's to expand our reach and continue to meet the needs of Georgia's kids today and for generations to come. The entire campus is 70 acres with more than 20 acres of greenspace blooming with the promise of new discoveries. And it's a beacon of hope for healthier tomorrows — much of this made possible through our generous community of philanthropic support.

Why Your Support Matters

To build the hospital of tomorrow takes a shared dream, common goals, a lot of planning and hard work, not to mention a significant investment. Children's launched Never Settle: A Campaign for Kids to raise more than $1 billion from our community to support these efforts — the largest fundraising effort in our 108-year history. The funds donated by our community through the Community Campaign effort will support the capital need to open Arthur M. Blank Hospital allowing us to transform the way we care for Georgia's kids.

Fulfilling the Wishes of Those Who Matter Most — Our Patients

“It should have a soccer field.” — Hannah, 6

  • The Great Lawn outside Arthur M. Blank Hospital will be as long as a soccer field and as wide as a football field.

  • On our 70-acre campus, there will be multiple gardens, more than 1,200 newly planted trees and 3 miles of sidewalks.

  • With basketball, miniature golf, larger-than-life musical instruments and lots of room to let kids' imaginations soar, the Zone will be a place kids and families can put their cares behind them and have a little fun.

“I wish nurses had a wand they could wave over me and make me better.” — Kenneth, 14
  • There will be 22 operating rooms, including dedicated rooms for trauma surgeries.

  • 3D printing capabilities will allow us to design lifesaving surgical tools.

About the Digital Wall

To help bring the great outdoors inside, the hospital will feature an interactive, digital wall. This 17' x 7' digital wall will feature an assortment of lively, spirited animals native to Georgia forests. Through the Community Campaign, supporters can purchase an animal which will be waiting to happily interact with the forest scene for patients and families to enjoy.
