Anyone who thinks schools are places of “all work and no play” doesn’t know how much fun Hoosier kids have while raising money for Riley Hospital. Across the state, nearly 700 schools are having a blast helping Indiana’s sick and injured children through Kids Caring & Sharing.

Kids Caring & Sharing is a special project of the Indiana Association of School Principals which allows kids to engage in meaningful community service without the expectation of personal gain. These students learn early in life how rewarding it is to help others.

Become a Miracle School for Riley

If every Indiana student donated just $1, schools could give $1 million to help thousands of sick and injured children at Riley Hospital. If your school’s fundraising efforts raise $1 per student, your school will receive special recognition as a Miracle School.

Bolster your School's Kids Caring & Sharing program with fresh ideas or, if your school isn't already involved, help them get started today!
