Fundraising isn’t easy for children’s hospitals. They fight for attention, dollars, and against the belief that they are for-profit, or government funded (neither is the case). Children’s Medical Center was challenged with a declining support base, rising donor fatigue and a lack of fundraising tools.

Getting into the consideration set of a larger, younger, more diverse audience called for less fundraising, more brandraising – to quickly achieve attention, and results.

To reverse Children’s low profile, we tapped into several high-profile supporters of Children’s including: Basketball legend Dirk Nowitzki, golf great Jordan Spieth, baseball phenom Clayton Kershaw and Super Bowl-winning Troy Aikman Though they were superstars in different arenas, they had one thing in common: Children’s was the cause closest to their hearts. The “I Choose Children’s” campaign turned the spotlight on the hospital’s important work, inspiring kids, caregivers and millions of followers
locally and globally.
