Doernbecher Children's Hospital does wonders to keep kids healthy, alive and laughing.
Recently they teamed up with Nike to develop a unique program that allows their patients the chance to support the hospital that supported them in their time of need. The program, "Doernbecher Freestyle"has raised over $11 million since it's inception in 2003.

Every year the hospital staff nominate patients from Oregon and Washington to design footwear and clothing for Nike. The kids get to travel to Nike, meet with designers, brainstorm ideas, tell their stories and help sketch out designs. And then they get to see these designs unveiled at the Doernbecher Freestyle auction before the footwear and apparel are put on line and into stores to be sold.The money will go to support the children's hospital. This is just another way that the research at OHSU/ Doernbecher helps, not only the Portland community but folks all around the world.
