Stuart Sullivan, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Shiners Hospitals for Children, joins Sid live in-studio on this Giving Tuesday to discuss the critical role of donations in supporting their mission. Shriners treats over 140,000 children annually with burn injuries, genetic issues, complex orthopedics, cleft lip, and spinal cord injuries without turning any child away. Sullivan emphasizes that most of their budget comes from donations rather than insurance companies, allowing them to provide necessary care regardless of a child's insurance status. He highlights stories of children like a burn victim who went on to play college soccer and a misdiagnosed basketball player who successfully returned to the sport after specialized treatment. Sullivan encourages listeners to donate to loveshirners.org to support the hospital's ongoing efforts.
