Friends of Schneider Children's is an association of friends which has been active on behalf of the hospital since 1992. It was founded in order to provide wide-ranging support for the hospital and to promote community awareness about its activities and the needs of the sick child.
Over the years, Friends of Schneider Children's has held a variety of fundraising events in Israel to assist in the acquisition of essential equipment, the funding of special projects and research grants. It has also assisted the development of departments in the hospital, specifically the Intensive Care Unit, Neurosurgery, Urology, Otolaryngology as well as others.
As a registered non-profit association, Friends of Schneider Children's is comprised solely of volunteers - some of whom have been active since its inception - from the business, public and social communities. Yisrael Makov serves as its President, and Dr. Aviva Ron as the Chair of the Executive Committee. Contributions are directed to support the needs of the hospital as approved by Schneider Children's administration and the association.
