Ways to HERO
There are many ways to HERO. Challenge yourself on our Half Marathon which brings you through over the river to Vermont and back, or join in our 5K run or 5K walk on one of the most fun courses out there! Have kids (or are a kid at heart?) take part in our 1-Mile Cams Course Fun Run. Volunteer with us or participate from afar with our Virtual option. As a team of friends or family or as an individual, no matter how you HERO you’re making an impact for the kids and families who need it most.
Dollars in Action
Every dollar raised through the CHaD HERO supports children and families facing medical challenges, ensuring they receive world-class care at Dartmouth Health Children’s and the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD). Your contributions help fund critical services, advanced treatments, and family support programs that make a real difference in their lives. Each donation brings us closer to providing hope, healing, and brighter futures for young patients and families we serve.
Our Kid HEROES
Our Kid HEROES represent the incredible things that are accomplished when we all collectively work together to make an impact.
Every Kid HERO has benefited from the care and services of Dartmouth Health Children's and CHaD.
