The Mike Modano Foundation ARCH Center Endowment Fund at Children’s Medical Center
The Mike Modano Foundation is proud to announce the formation of the Mike Modano Foundation ARCH Center Endowment Fund at Children’s Medical Center. The funds will be used to serve the patients at the At-Risk Children’s Hospital (ARCH) at Children’s Medical Center Dallas.
For more than 90 years, the families of North Texas have trusted Children’s Medical Center to care for our community’s most valuable resource—our children. Providing more than 342,000 patient visits annually from children living not only in Dallas but from all over the U.S. and the world, Children’s is the largest provider of pediatric healthcare in North Texas. Notably, Children’s the only pediatric hospital in Texas and one of only 14 in the nation to be designated as a Level I Trauma Center allowing them to handle the most extreme pediatric emergencies.
The ARCH Center is a valuable part of the hospital. The mission of the Crystal Charity Ball ARCH Center is to improve the quality of life for physically and emotionally fragile children in the Dallas area through exemplary medical care, social support, community referrals, advocacy and education. Opened in 1999, the ARCH center allows the hospital to provide comprehensive medical and social care for children whose needs overlap with the services offered by various programs. Made up of six clinics - REACH (Referral and Evaluation of Abused Children) Clinic, Foster Care Clinic, Low Birth Weight Clinic
ARMS (AIDS-Related Medical Services) Clinic, AYA (Adolescent Young Adult) Clinic, Lead Poisoning Clinic – the ARCH center’s purpose is a natural fit with the Mike Modano Foundation mission. We look forward to the wonderful partnership with Children’s Medical Center and look forward to helping at-risk kids in this community.

2006 Capital for Kids partners with The Mike Modano Foundation
The Mike Modano Foundation is pleased to partner with Capital for Kids, an organization focused on children in need, to raise funds and awareness for at-risk children in this community.
Capital for Kids is a network of individuals and organizations in the investment management business dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children in need. The group has already distributed close to $1,000,000 to area agencies such as Jonathan’s Place, Children’s Medical Center, Children’s Advocacy Center, Nexus and others. Capital for Kids is passionate in supporting organizations that educate, protect and encourage the development of children in the North Texas area. Last year’s gala raised over $700,000 and drew over 500 attendees from investment firms and major corporations. This year’s efforts have already exceeded $400,000 and our goal is to raise $1,000,000.
The Mike Modano Foundation would like to thank all of the individuals that donate their time and energy and work so diligently during the year to make this partnership so special. For more information on Capital for Kids, please visit www.capitalforkids.org.

...On Monday, February 7, 2005, The Mike Modano
Foundation received a $20,000 grant from The UPS Foundation, the charitable
arm of United Parcel Service (NYSE:UPS). The grant will be used to benefit
Jonathan’s Place, the first licensed foster group home in Texas for drug-addicted
babies and small children which also provides emergency residential care
services for abused, abandoned and neglected children. Specifically, the
funds will be used to help initiate the Jonathan’s Place Play Therapy project
by providing an in-house therapist for the children living at the facility.
The Mike Modano Foundation is proud to be associated with the UPS Foundation.
The Foundation, established in 1951 and based in Atlanta, focuses on specific
areas where its support will clearly impact social issues. We would like
to thank the UPS Foundation for their help in raising awareness for the
cause of at-risk children in the Dallas area. The Mike Modano Foundation
would also like to thank Richard Singleton of UPS for all of his time and
hard work that went toward this grant.

and heating up bottles was installed, as well as blanket racks at toddler
