We are so excited to be partnering with Nationwide Children’s Hospital here at The Dawes Arboretum for their second annual “Light Up the Lawn, Light Up a Life” campaign this holiday season. Now through December 10, view a beautiful 6-foot butterfly on the lawn next to our Visitors Center and make a donation to see it light up! Your gift instantly lights up a garden of butterflies on the hospital’s front lawn, and various locations through central Ohio, to entertain and delight children hospitalized during the holidays. This display helps in bringing hope to the patients, their families and healthcare providers. While you’re at The Arboretum, stop by to see the butterfly, make a donation if you would like, and watch your gift light up a life!
Every gift, no matter what size, makes a difference in the lives of children. Donations to Nationwide Children's help fund cutting-edge research, the finest clinical care for every child, and education and training for the next generation of pediatric health care providers.
If you aren’t able to make it out to our grounds by December 10th, the butterflies will also be visible at Nationwide Children’s Hospital through the holiday season. If you would also like to make a donation remotely, you can access that page here.
