Play Ball for Peyton's Pals - Helping Kids We Will Never Meet

For 36 years, Tom Vartanian has played senior baseball to raise money for charities. He will step up to the plate again to play 50 innings in a one-week senior baseball tournament in November in 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 this tournament is 75 or older and highly competitive!

These children and their families now more than ever 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 families — many of whom are working hard to make ends meet — so they can focus on their child’s health and well-being. Thanks to your contributions, a virtual Healthy Families program will go live this fall, allowing for patients and their families to access these resources 24/7.

Your support will also help the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology invest in new equipment and 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.

Please give the gift of hope to reassure families that they are not alone on their journey in their efforts to better these children’s lives. 

Join Tom in making every inning count—please donate today.

Thank you.
