Volunteering at Special Events
Special events offer a fun way to make a difference in the lives of Mississippi's children. They play an important role in philanthropy at Batson Hospital by raising valuable resources that benefit our patients and generating awareness of the hospital and children's health issues. Events include those sponsored by the hospital and by community organizations that support Batson Hospital.
