At the Children’s Healing Center, families never pay to participate — because opportunities for connection, play, and community should never come with a price tag.

We remove barriers so families can simply show up and belong. No fees, no stress — just a place where the entire family can have fun and find friendships, without worrying about the cost.

This is only possible because of generous community support. Through our Partners in Play sponsorship program, you can help ensure families continue receiving the healing power of play — at no cost to them.
Your support lifts the burden and opens the door to joy, friendship, and belonging.

⭐Behind every visit, there’s a powerful “why.”

Our partnership with West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. is special. Over the past nine years, their local employees have raised nearly $500,000 in support of our mission and services. Because of their generosity, children with weakened immune systems and their families have had access to care, connection, and a place to simply be kids. The impact West has made on our members—and on our community—will be felt for years to come. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment to healing and hope.

The Center isn’t just a play space for kids — it’s a lifeline for caregivers.

It’s the rare moment when a parent can exhale.
It’s the conversation with another dad who gets it.
It’s the smile from staff who understand without needing an explanation.

We support caregivers by being more than a resource — we’re a relationship. 💙

⭐Behind every visit, there’s a powerful “why.”

12/17/2025

As we close out the year, we’re celebrating the strength and resilience of families like the Lynns and the Sennes — families who have found safety, connection, and much-needed joy at the Center. Their experiences show just how life-changing a medically safe space can be.

We invite you to read their stories and see the impact your support makes. And as you do, please consider a year-end gift to ensure more families find hope and healing in the year ahead.

This past weekend, Santa Claus stopped by Children's Healing Center to visit our West Michigan families and collect their special handwritten letters. What a joyous day it was! 🎅🎄

A special thanks to our incredible event sponsors who helped make this day possible: 💚
