CHKD Junior Volunteers

11/17/2025

We are so excited to announce 2025 Junior Volunteer Sam Sachs was presented with the Outstanding Youth Volunteer Award at recent the Governor's Volunteerism & Community Service Awards Ceremony! Read all about Sam's efforts to raise funds and support for other families at CHKD. Amazing job Sam!

Join us in congratulating Sam Sachs, a CHKD patient ambassador and junior volunteer, on receiving the Governor's Award for Volunteerism & Community Service!

At only 11 years old, Sam turned his battle with leukemia into a powerful mission to support others. In 2021, he founded Sam’s Warriors and has since raised more than $110,000 to help CHKD patients and their families - providing meaningful assistance to over 100 patient families in our community.

Sam continues to volunteer his time, share his story, and lead service projects that inspire hope in others. We are so proud of Sam's dedication to helping others and are honored to be a part of his journey.

Congratulations, Sam, on this well-deserved recognition! ❤️💙💛

Every ounce of care makes a difference for our tiniest fighters.

Today, on World Prematurity Day, we’re celebrating the strength of our NICU babies, their families, and the incredible people who support them.

CHKD’s NICU provides lifesaving care for premature and medically fragile infants. And when a mother’s own milk isn’t available, The King’s Daughters Milk Bank at CHKD helps nourish these infants – as well as babies in NICUs along the East Coast – thanks to the generosity of dedicated milk donors.

It’s the care, expertise, and collaboration behind the scenes that help give premature babies the healthiest possible start. 💜
