Real Hope for CDH, affectionately known as "Kays Kids" is an ACDHO charity that helps fund the research of Dr. David Kays at the University of Florida in Gainesville / SHANDS.   Dr. Kays pioneered the "gentle ventilation" technique of ventilating CDH babies.  He is a wonderful doctor, a great man, a friend of CHERUBS for over 10 years and a saint to every family whose cherubs have been under his care.   All winnings from this contest will go directly to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research to learn how to better treat babies born with CDH.  To learn more about Real Hope for CDH, you can visit http://www.realhopeforcdh.com


The Olivia Raine Foundation (another ACDHO organization!) is also in the Chase Contest!

The Olivia Raine Foundation is named in memory of cherub, Olivia Raine Richards.   Her family started this foundation in Michigan to help grieving parents pay for their childrens' funerals.   They are very low on funding right now and can use all the help they can get!   Please vote for them in the contest!  For more info or to make a donation, go to http://oliviaraine.org/
