Join the Cousins' Club Team
We understand your dilemma. You’ve recently discovered Spaulding for Children and its vital services to our community’s abused and neglected children who wait in foster care for permanent, new, adoptive families. At this point in your life, you are not able to join our Favorite Aunts and Uncles Club for individual donors of $1000 per year.

The answer?

If you can't be a Favorite Aunt or Uncle to the children, how about being a Cousin? In 2005, Spaulding for Children launch a new support group for waiting children called the Cousins' Club. Membership in the Cousins' Club is offered to individual donors of $250 to $999. The Cousins' Club will help provide toys, gift certificates, back-to-school clothes and other necessary items of support to the children as well as much needed operational support for Spaulding for Children's many essential Programs and Services. At the same time, cousins will also be able to socialize with one another and Spaulding for Children families through special functions and special events for kids.

To become a member of the Cousins' Club or to learn more about our many opportunities to help these deserving children, contact the Director of Development, Marketing and Communications at 713.681.6991, ext. 127.
