As our 30th year of helping sick and needy children draws to a close, CATCH greatly appreciates your consideration of including us in your year-end giving plans. This past year, we provided a record $445,000 to help pediatric patients with special needs at Children’s Hospital and Henry Ford Hospital, and in 2018, we are budgeted to distribute even more. Whether it be for a bed monitor for a child who experiences dangerous seizures during the night or assisting families with utility and rent payments while taking time off of work to help care for their sick child, CATCH funds are used in a reactionary manner when no other source of funding exists.

Your gift to CATCH will help us to continue to serve as an invaluable resource for the hospitals’ physicians, nurses and social workers in caring for a patient population that is medically vulnerable and economically disadvantaged.

Part of our 30th Anniversary celebration this year included the donation by Henry Ford Health System of a video featuring patients and health care providers from Children’s and Henry Ford Hospitals. The video clearly demonstrates the impact that CATCH funds have on the patients and families who benefit from your generous contributions. We are tremendously grateful to everyone who supports our work and advances the mission of the late Sparky Anderson’s vision when he founded CATCH in 1987.
