Benefitting the Children's Hospital
at Memorial Health University Center

The One Hundred is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization comprised of volunteers dedicated to support the Children's Hospital at Memorial University Medical Center.

The One Hundred was founded in 1994 when Dr. Edwin Shepard, a pediatrician in Savannah, met with five individuals to discuss developing a support organization for the Children’s Hospital. All agreed there was a compelling need to focus public attention on children's healthcare and the Children's Hospital. That initial group of five expanded to nineteen, and The One Hundred was created.

To date, we have raised over $ 2.2 million for specialized medical equipment, education programs and services for the Children’s Hospital. Recent examples of our projects include:

1. $100,000 towards the renovation and expansion of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
2. $50,000 for furnishings and interiors for a new outreach Pediatric Rehab Center in Pooler, Georgia
3. Renovation of the largest room in the In-patient Unit
4. Renovation of the Pediatric Outpatient Waiting Area
5. Renovation of the Pediatric Special Care Unit

Our members enjoy many volunteer opportunities at the hospital including rocking newborns, working at the concierge desk, assisting with pediatric rehabilitation, assembling newborn "Baby Bundles" and participating in our educational programs including "Reach Out and Read".

The One Hundred also sponsors several fund-raising activities throughout the year, including our signature Bear Gala held every fall.

We welcome new members and participation in our many activities.
