Boston Children’s Hospital will host its annual Champions for Children’s celebration on Saturday, February 12, 2022 at 7:30 pm ET on WBZ-TV/CBS Boston. The broadcast will showcase stories of young, heroic patients and feature appearances by athletes from the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots and New England Revolution. Unlike past events, this year’s Champions will be televised for the first time, and will reach the largest audience in the event’s history. The goal for this year is to raise over $3.5 million in the fight against childhood disease.

Returning this year as the Champions for Children’s title sponsor are Suffolk Cares and John and Cyndy Fish. “For over 20 years, local professional sports teams and business leaders have come together through Champions to support families of sick children in desperate need of answers from Boston Children’s Hospital,” said John Fish, event chair, and Chairman and CEO of Suffolk. “This year we are excited to broadcast the experience and share stories of hope and perseverance, as well as highlight the efforts of our local sports community in support of the hospital.”

Since 1997, Champions for Children’s has raised more than $67 million to help families through Boston Children’s Every Child Fund—advancing care, research and crucial services—at the one hospital that’s cured more childhood diseases than any other.

The 30-minute program will be hosted by WBZ-TV’s Lisa Hughes, Steve Burton, and David Wade. A generous match provided by the New England Patriots Foundation will double the impact of donations received. Those interested are encouraged to tune into the broadcast and donate at the following link: Champions for Children's donation page. The broadcast will also be available on line at: https://boston.cbslocal.com/live/
