About Us

Children's Health Foundation (CHF) is a 501(c)(3) organization that raises funds to improve children's health in Oklahoma through direct support of pediatric research, education, and care. Since its inception in 1982, CHF has created and funded 36 endowed chairs supporting the OU Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Surgery Pediatrics Section at the OU Health Sciences Center. Additionally, CHF finances critical research in 18 program areas and funds essential projects at the Jimmy Everest Center, Harold Hamm Diabetes Center, Child Study Center, Oklahoma Autism Center, and many other initiatives delivering direct patient care. All funds raised stay in Oklahoma, serving children across all 77 counties. No child is turned away from a CHF-supported program because of an inability to pay.
