Exciting things are happening at Children’s Flight of Hope, and we are happy to share some updates and opportunities with you. Our mission remains unwavering: ensuring that no child is denied life-saving medical care because of the distance or cost of travel. Thanks to the tireless efforts of so many, we are making this a reality every day. This year's growth trajectory has again been steep. We’ve welcomed over 260 new families while continuing to support those we’ve served in the past, already surpassing the total impact of 2023. This rising need underscores the critical nature of our work, and we’re responding by expanding partnerships, raising awareness, and sharing our story far and wide. As the demand grows, we turn to you. Whether you’ve been part of our journey for years or are new to the CFOH family, your support ensures no child is left behind. From participating in raffles and silent auctions to monthly donations, year-end giving, or including CFOH in your estate plans - your generosity ensures that no family is left behind. Spreading the word on social media or in conversation is also important as we work together to share our story. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are making a profound difference in the lives of children and the families who love them.

Bring Warmth To The NC Mountains

As the cold air rolls in, Children's Flight of Hope has launched a coat drive to help keep families warm in Western North Carolina as they recover from Hurricane Helene. We are collecting new or gently used/professionally cleaned coats, hats, gloves, and other winter essentials for those who have lost so much to this storm. Warm weather items can be donated or delivered to 751 Corporate Center Drive, Suite 130, Raleigh, NC 27607 Monday through Friday, 8:30-5:30 through November 1st.

Children’s Flight of Hope provides flights to essential, life-changing, and life-saving medical care for children in need.

Together with our donors, partners, and champions, we ease the medical and financial burden on families, with flights for children and caregivers every time they travel for specialized care- no matter how far, no matter how often.
