Through this partnership, the Gold Heart Campaign has raised millions of dollars to help children in need.
With an 86-year legacy of caring for children across the globe when family income, insurance, and the government cannot, Variety -the Childrens Charity has grown to 41 chapters in 11 countries and raised more than $1 billion to assist the treatment and care of children who are disabled and disadvantaged. Through direct grants and programs, Variety provides the gifts of independence, self-esteem, mobility and communication; survival, recovery, well-being and health; and education, confidence and achievement for children who are disabled and disadvantaged.
