Glennon Ambassadors

We wouldn’t be the world-class institution we are without your support.

If you’ve ever thought about using your experience or gratitude to help future patients, parents and families, we’d love to connect with you!

There are so many different ways for patients and families to make an impact. We can easily connect you with opportunities that best meet your interests and availability. Whether you live close or hours away, have lots of time or very little time, whether you have lots to say or little to say, there are opportunities for parents to help!

We involve our parents through:

Sharing your story
Volunteer opportunities
The Family Advisory Council
E-Advisors
Fundraising

…and so much more! We want you to be able to do what you can or what you love to help kids. There’s something for everyone, and we welcome the opportunity to stay connected with you.

We named this connection “Glennon Ambassadors” because through your gratitude and involvement in ANY way, you become an “ambassador” for our hospital. We simply want to let you know that you have a route to stay connected.

Meet the Ambassadors

Click below to meet some of our Glennon Ambassadors and see how they support the kids at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.

“I was patient at Cardinal Glennon when I was kid. I wanted to turn my love for food and relationships with some restaurant owners into a way to help the hospital. We started a weekly dinner program for the parents, and call it Tasty Tuesdays. It’s great being able to do what I love to support families and the hospital that gave me a chance.”

Budde Family - Glennon Ambassadors

"Our daughter Averi Rose has been coming to Cardinal Glennon for years and is treated in the Dallas Heart Center. We love to connect with and support other families. We also appreciate having different outlets to share our story. There’s been a lot! We support multiple events, and we also host an annual community fundraiser for the hospital at Blue Springs Ranch."

"My daughter, Jessica passed away from cystic fibrosis, but we spent her lifetime here at Cardinal Glennon. I consider Cardinal Glennon an extension of my family and do whatever I can. I am part of the Family Advisory Council, volunteer and share our story at events, serve on the Ambassador Choice Award planning team, and whatever else works with my job and other commitments."

"Our daughter Evie was diagnosed with spina bifida and has been treated at Cardinal Glennon her whole life. We are so grateful to the exceptional care provided by everyone in the hospital and that our little girl now has the chance to walk." We have represented Cardinal Glennon for Children’s Miracle Network. We had a team for the Sun Run, fundraise for events, volunteer at events, host our own community drives, serve on the Family Advisory Council, and whatever else can work in from home with our busy life and other kids!"

"I was treated at Cardinal Glennon for more than 30 years, and still come here. Being a hospital volunteer each Tuesday is the way I love to give back. I love being able to interact with other kids and young adults in the hospital I am so familiar with, and I have been able to make my commitment work with my home life. I know I am making a difference, and know it takes a lot of volunteers to support such an amazing place.”

"My son, Nic was treated at Cardinal Glennon for 3 years. During that time, I always knew I wanted to stay connected to the staff that meant so much to me, and support other families. I do snack rounds with the parent courtesy cart once a week, which gives me an opportunity to give to others, and pay forward the smiles that got me through my tough days as a parent there."

“My daughter, Kristina, lived with Sickle Cell Anemia for 15 years. Glennon became like a second home to us. After she passed away, I wanted to do something to stay connected and give back. Though I am a full time teacher, I enjoy volunteering whenever I can. I have served on a short term Bereavement Committee, the Ambassador Choice Awards planning committee, and also the Family Advisory Council. I love being able to share my feedback and advocate for other families.”
