Where Does the Money Go?
What is it Used For?

Proceeds from The Big Spin will benefit Uncompensated Care at Seattle Children’s. Last year, the hospital provided more than $65 million in Uncompensated Care for area children, an increase of more than 50 percent from the previous year. Many times medical insurance doesn’t cover the necessary treatment, other times maximum lifetime insurance benefits are depleted, and sometimes a family simply cannot afford insurance. It is comforting to know we have a place where all children in our region receive not only the care they need, but some of the most advanced care in the country…no matter what.
