Children's kicks off campaign at A-Day games

Posted: 19 Apr 2010 05:26 PM PDT

BIRMINGHAM — A high-tech, soft-touch campaign to raise funds for the state's ill and injured kids treated at Children's Hospital kicks off this weekend at the A-Day spring football games at the University of Alabama and Auburn University.

A new text-giving program will allow football fans and supporters everywhere to text "CHILDREN" to 50555 to make a quick-and-easy $10 donation to the state's only freestanding pediatric hospital.

A multi-media awareness campaign on both campuses will include game announcements, signage, spots on the TV broadcast of the games and messages on the video boards in both stadiums.

Chris Stewart, of the Crimson Tide Sports Network, and Gene Chizik, head football coach of the Auburn Tigers, have taped special messages for fans of their respective schools.

Children's text-giving program is a one-time $10 donation. The donation will appear on the owner's next mobile bill as a separate line item, recognized as a tax-deductible donation.

No extra or hidden fees but message and data rates may apply.

The Children's Hospital of Alabama is the 10th busiest pediatric medical center in the United States. Located in Birmingham, Children's is one of only about 45 freestanding acute care hospitals of its kind in the nation and the only hospital in Alabama dedicated solely to the care and treatment of children. It is licensed for 275 beds. Children's is a private, not-for-profit hospital governed by a volunteer board of trustees. The hospital was recently recognized for the excellence of its nursing care by achieving Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Children's will celebrate its centennial anniversary in 2011.
