If one gift can make a difference, imagine what we can do when we give together

When it comes to supporting a child’s health, sometimes it takes a little extra magic to make an impact. That’s where Blue Peaks Giving Circle comes in. Each new contributor adds their spark to the membership group — bringing power through their collaboration and joy in making a meaningful difference. What do we mean by collaborative giving?

Blue Peaks Giving Circle is a fresh approach to philanthropy, where your donations join forces with those of other like-minded individuals, amplifying the impact of each gift. By pooling resources, Blue Peaks can say yes to investing in new technology, expanding medical programs and meeting our patients’ greatest needs.

What makes our approach to collaborative giving so unique? It’s not just about the collective power of funds; it’s about shared decision-making and achieving more together than one can achieve alone. As a Blue Peaks Giving Circle member, you’re not just making a donation — you have the opportunity to determine how those funds are used. This approach ensures that every gift goes further, lasts longer and supports future Cook Children’s patients in a profound way.

“As a member of the Cook Children’s staff, we regularly get to hear about needs across the system, and Blue Peaks Giving Circle lets members do the same,” says Lauren Tevis, director of Philanthropy. “This program was created to make a bridge directly from our staff to the community and to transparently see how your gifts make a real and measurable difference at Cook Children’s, annually. Blue Peaks Giving Circle meets the needs of the system exactly where and how we need them, now and far into the future. This circle is as dynamic as its members! We welcome everyone — individuals, couples, families or organizations and foundations,” said Lauren. “This is truly a way to dive into the Cook Children’s world as deep as you would like!”

Throughout the year, Blue Peaks members have the opportunity to participate in member-only events, including a community-wide donation drive and family service projects that meet the current needs of our patients.

The highlight event of the year is our annual Give Dinner — a vibrant event where members come together for a night of mingling, learning about the proposed grant projects and voting on fund distribution. This night is filled with inspiring stories from our incredible Cook Children’s staff.

If you’re looking for a way to make your giving more impactful, we invite you to join Blue Peaks Giving Circle. We offer a variety of membership levels so you can find the best fit for your family. Here, you’ll have the chance to be part of something truly special — where your generosity multiplies, your voice matters and your donations create lasting change.

Our circle isn’t complete without you.
