With Giving Tuesday approaching on December 2, 2025, Memorial Foundation and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation are urging the South Florida community to support patients and families who rely on local, high-quality care. The organizations emphasize that contributions—whether modest or substantial—directly strengthen programs that provide medical treatment, emotional support, and financial relief.
Kelley Morris, President of both foundations, describes the day as an opportunity for residents to translate compassion into tangible impact across the Memorial Healthcare System. Philanthropy, she notes, helps ensure that patients receive not only advanced treatment, but also dignity and comfort during difficult moments.
Giving Tuesday donations help sustain and expand specialized services throughout the system, from technological advancements to family-centered programs.
