Imagine Gala 2027 Sponsorship

What Makes Mending Kids Different? 

Mending Kids is not defined by a single surgical specialty. Our work spans cardiac care, ENT, colorectal surgery, plastic surgery, and more, shaped by the relationships we've built with hospitals and medical professionals around the world. 

These relationships are at the heart of our multidisciplinary approach. Our dedicated medical teams work alongside their local colleagues, sharing knowledge and experience across specialties and roles. Together, we identify opportunities to strengthen standards of care and expand the complexity of procedures that can be safely performed. 

Our approach to capacity building is rooted in long-term partnerships, with a commitment of at least five years. But success isn't measured by how long we stay. It's measured by our partners' ability to build on that shared experience, take ownership, and carry the work forward independently. 

The exchange of knowledge is at the heart of what we do. The lasting impact is more children receiving the care they need, closer to home, with the opportunity to grow up and fulfill their potential. 

What Your Sponsorship Supports

Our volunteer medical teams donate their time and expertise, but delivering surgical care requires significant financial resources. 

Surgical Care: Medical supplies, medications, and specialized surgical equipment. 

Travel and Logistics: Flights for medical teams, baggage fees for medical supplies, equipment shipping, lodging, and mission coordination. 

Individual Surgical Care: Surgery costs, travel, and lodging for children whose surgical needs cannot be met locally. 

Training and Program Development: Medical exchanges, training conferences, and outreach to expand surgical programs. 

We Cannot Reach Every Child Who Needs Surgery. But Together, We Can Reach More.
