If you are a school or work as a teacher/guidance counselor...
Teachers and schools hold a special place in the lives of children, providing not just academic guidance but also emotional support. You witness firsthand the challenges that grief can present in the lives of students, and your compassion makes a world of difference.
​
Organize creative and engaging fundraisers within your school community. Events like charity runs, talent shows, or art auctions can not only raise funds but also bring students, parents, and teachers together to support a common cause.
​
In addition to fundraising events...
Consider arranging workshops or assemblies to educate students and staff about the challenges faced by grieving children. These events can promote understanding, empathy, and support for those coping with loss. Utilize our resources to foster open discussions about grief to create a supportive environment for grieving students and raise awareness about the impact of loss.
If you are a healthcare worker...
Organize a hospital-wide fundraiser or start a personal campaign among your colleagues, friends, and family. Your collective efforts can create a significant impact on the lives of children who need it most.
​
Organize workshops or talks to raise awareness about the challenges faced by grieving children and the support they need. These events can help destigmatize grief and encourage open conversations.
​
Encourage your healthcare network to come together and contribute regularly to support Elizabeth's Smile. Small, consistent donations can have a profound impact on our ability to provide our resources and products for free to all who need them.
​
We would also be happy to send you custom Elizabeth's Smile scrubs as a thank-you to the medical staff working daily to impact the lives of so many people.
