The 1998 Society, named for the year Egleston Children’s Health Care System and Scottish Rite Children’s Medical Center merged to form Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, is a giving society made up of fellow Children’s providers who share a common purpose to strengthen our ability to care for Georgia’s kids. Through fundraisers and personal contributions, members of the 1998 Society have raised more than $10 million for Children’s patients and families since the group’s inception in 2001.

Your contribution makes a difference

The money raised through the 1998 Society has funded a variety of programs and services at Children’s. Donors can choose to designate their gift to a particular area or give to the 1998 Society general fund.

Those funds provide grants for unique, doctor-led programs where funding is not found elsewhere. The 1998 Society also honors physician peers at The Big Deal fundraiser.

Join the 1998 Society

If you are a Children’s physician interested in joining the 1998 Society, you can donate in a variety of ways.

 Contact Cindy Wesley if you have questions about the 1998 Society.

The 1998 Society’s goal is to fund innovative projects with a high potential for results that will have clinical application and impact at the end of the grant period.
