Lend A Hand Up for Kids was launched in 2009 through a Cullen Children’s Foundation Grant which was matched by Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF). For 12 years, Cullen Children’s Foundation, DMF and other community supporters have supported this special fund within the Lend A Hand Up program to to increase help and hope for families with children (up to 18 years) who are battling a significant health issue. 100% of gifts are distributed because Lend A Hand Up for Kids administrative costs are covered by DMF.
