- Following in their founders’ footsteps, the dedicated members of the Founders Auxiliary Board support Children’s National through Annual Grants and Major Gift Programs. Known for support that propels innovative research, champions best practices in pediatric community health and funds critical programs, members also provide strategic insight and support for Children’s National Hospital.

I’ve been on several philanthropic boards but nothing like this one. This is an amazing group of bright and energized women who can roll up their sleeves, get to work and accomplish anything we set out to do. I have so much respect and admiration for our dedicated Board who, simply put, make things happen.
