Play Ball for Peyton’s Pals

Helping Kids We Will Never Meet

For 35 years, Tom Vartanian has played baseball to raise money for charities. Now, he’s stepping up to the plate once more to play 100 innings in two senior baseball tournaments in Phoenix, AZ, and Ft. Myers, FL, for Peyton’s Pals who, like Peyton, are receiving care at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for rare endocrine conditions. Every one of the players in these tournaments is 75 or older!

These children and their families rely on the groundbreaking research, innovative treatments, and compassionate, family-centered care that Johns Hopkins Children’s Center provides. But this is only possible with support from people like you.

How will your funds be used?

With your generosity, families whose children are receiving endocrinology care at Johns Hopkins will have access to programs and tools that make a lasting difference. The Healthy Families program provides food, supplies, and personal training to local families—many of whom are working hard to make ends meet—so they can focus on their child’s health and well-being.

Your support will also help the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology invest in new equipment that directly informs patient care and significantly improves doctors' ability to understand and meet each child’s unique needs. The division is also hoping with your support to launch accredited pediatric virtual courses so that more doctors, fellows, and pediatric specialists across the country can gain the expertise needed to care for these children. 

You can give the gift of hope and reassure families that they are not alone on their journey. You can help Johns Hopkins provide better care and enable technologies that will change these children’s lives.

Thank you.
