Corporate or Foundation Partner Award

The Children's Foundation has had an active partnership with Central Michigan University. Through generous funding, they have assisted with child wellness initiatives with various faculty and departments across campus. The Children's Foundation has supported multiple chair positions within the College of Medicine and has partnered with CMU Athletics to provide once-in-a-lifetime game-day experiences for children. 

The Foundation works collaboratively to improve the health and well-being of children and their families through advocacy, funding, and partnerships.  

Larry Burns, CEO of the Children's Foundation, is an alumnus of CMU and has seen the value firsthand in supporting programming and initiatives at CMU. Larry hosts a radio show in Detroit and has invited President (Emeritus) Davies, Dean Kikano, and other faculty members to join him on the show to showcase CMU's efforts in medicine, health and wellness, and the University's overall impact on the state of Michigan.
