Hendrick Medical Center Foundation

Our team raises money to support the ministry of Hendrick Children's Hospital every single day. Donations are used to support the work of our local OB/GYNS, pediatricians and neonatologists by investing in lifesaving equipment and life-changing programs. We are committed to finding local dollars to bless local kids (and their families).

Our efforts depend on partners, which is why we are so proud to be connected with Heroes 4 a Cause. Their annual car show has grown every year in participants and dollars raised. Thank you to these local heroes for supporting our tiniest and mightiest patients!

And if you, your company or your community group would be interested in partnering with Hendrick Medical Center Foundation to support one of our vital, community-focused healthcare ministries, please contact us.

Today, Brad Benham, vice president for Foundation, spent several hours writing and signing letters to encourage people to consider making a year-end gift to the "Light Up a Life" campaign for Hendrick Hospice Care.

Every donated dollar goes directly to assist Big Country patients who would otherwise be unable to afford important, individualized end-of-life care.

As 2025 comes to a close, we hope you visit hendrickhealth.org/lights to "Light Up a Life" with hope and compassion this Christmas season.

On this Wildlife Conservation Day, we want to give a special "SHOUT OUT" to our Abilene Zoo friends. For years, the Abilene Zoo has partnered with Hendrick Health to support our various ministries – from visiting Hendrick Children's Hospital to being a featured guest at Camp Courage (a Hendrick Hospice Care day camp to bless children dealing with a recent loss).

Thank you to the Abilene Zoo for helping to save animals throughout the world and for investing in kids and education right here in the Big Country!

Jay Moore, like the history he shares, is an Abilene treasure. His partnership in shepherding the preservation and celebration of our Centennial history last year through his community presentations and beautiful book, “Hendrick Health: A Century of Healing Ministry,” helped to celebrate 100 years of local people caring and loving their neighbors. Thank you, Jay!

He didn’t start writing until his 40s, and still isn’t sure he’s any good at it. But Abilenians know better. Jay Moore has become one of Abilene’s most beloved authors and speakers, packing the Paramount Theatre year after year with his entertaining, educational presentations on local history.

On this , please consider making a donation to Hendrick Hospice Care through our annual Light Up a Life campaign. Every donated dollar goes directly to patient care to bless a local family in need of compassionate, comprehensive hospice services. But it is not just about caring for the patient, it is also about ministering to the family with love and support.

As an added bonus, when you give to "Light Up a Life" at certain levels, you have the opportunity to engrave a brick or paver at Hendrick Hospice Care Center's Legacy Park in honor or in memory of a loved one. These engraved stones are a great way to both look back in honor and look forward in hope to bless another local family.

The amazing caregivers at Hendrick Hospice Care do not get holidays off. They are there 24/7, when necessary, to minister and care for patients and their families during some of life's most challenging times.

This year, I hope will consider making a philanthropic gift to our Light Up a Life campaign at hendrickhealth.org/lights.

You can be assured 100% of your donation goes directly to patient care. So, thank you for helping us spread hope this holiday season.

The Hendrick Cares team is a group of Hendrick Health employees who constantly look for ways to give back to the community and volunteer. For the past decade, they have championed our partnership with Love & Care Ministries to support their Mission Thanksgiving food and clothing drive.

Throughout October, groups throughout our community took the time to accomplish two important things:

1️⃣ Bring awareness to the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer.
2️⃣ Raise money to support The Hope Fund by Hendrick Health.

We want to give a big 🎉shout-out to Dyess Elementary School for helping us fight local breast cancer again this year!
