How You Can Help

At Children’s, we treat the whole child, which means, more than anything else, giving families the support they need to help us heal their kids. The Yawkey Family Inn will be a strong foundation for that support, for many families, for many years to come. You can help us build it by sponsoring this project.

Make a Gift 

Give in any amount online or by check, make a monthly donation, or consider one of our naming opportunities.  For every $250 donation, we'll commemorate a brick in your honor in the house's walkway.  To learn more about donating a commemorative brick, please click here. 

There are also several sponsorship and naming opportunities available (trees, bedrooms, etc…) within the Yawkey Family Inn. To learn more about these opportunities please email Sara Conahan.

Host a Fundraiser 

Bring family and friends together to raise money for a house that will bring other families together. Dinner party and auction? Golf tournament? You name it – we can help you in all kinds of ways.  Click here to find out how to start your own fundraiser.

Volunteer and Cook a Meal for a Family

Autumn Street, our other patient family housing, will continue to stay open after the Yawkey Family Inn is completed. We always need help cooking dinners for our guests! If you’d like to volunteer, click here or email us at familyhousing@childrens.harvard.edu to get involved.
