At Nationwide Children's volunteers have always helped shape our mission of helping every child. As our care grows to more than 1.9 million patient visits each year the need for passionate community members is greater than ever.

🦋 Butterfly Guild supports our Hospice and Palliative Care Program through an annual children’s play, a gala and other special events.
🦋 Development Board brings together Columbus business professionals who raise vital funds for programs across the hospital.
🦋 TWIG brings together groups of women across central Ohio who support children and families through creative fundraising projects.
🦋 Women’s Board members serve as ambassadors and volunteers and help raise funds that move our mission forward.

Encore, please! The Encore Mile is a reunion mile for all the kids who have been a Mile Champion for Nationwide Children’s on each mile of a previous Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon and 1/2 Marathon. Because we're so inspired, motivated, and empowered by them, we want them to come back for another round!

Watch out for the Encore Mile, located at Mile 10 – it might be the rowdiest mile you cross. These Mile Champions are sure to pump you up!

Honor. Remember. Celebrate. 🦋

Mile 11 is a special mile of the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon dedicated to remembering those who are no longer with us. Families come together to support one another, share memories and celebrate the days they shared with their children. This mile is an experience that gives the marathon a new meaning. When you run through the Remembrance Mile, run for those kids who have finished their race, and be inspired to take advantage of every single day.
