Events

Events have the power to energize and inspire. Whether you attend a Children's hosted event or you plan an event of your own, take action and help those who need it most.

Signature Events

Children Helping Children Junior Singles Tennis Tournament
Is your little champion tennis player passionate about helping others? Is teaching them the importance of philanthropy, while still encouraging their competitive nature, important to you? If so, the Children Helping Children Junior Singles Tennis Tournament, held in the fall of each year in Plano, Texas, will allow them to build their own fundraising Web page, compete in a USTA sanctioned tournament and earn quality prizes—all while raising money for pediatric cancer research and treatment at Children's.

Children's Medical Center Holiday Parade
Presented by Capital One Bank
Kick-off the holiday season with one of the nation's best children's parades. Enjoy giant inflatable balloons, marching bands, equestrian teams, dance troops, colorful floats and the season's first appearance of Saint Nick himself at the 22nd annual parade, December 4.
