Children's Hospital Colorado

Send a Cheer Card

Send a personal greeting right to a patient at one of our four hospital locations using our free cheer cards! Choose your favorite card below and personalize your message. Then, our volunteers will print the card and hand-deliver it to the patient’s room.

We'll do our very best to ensure that the patient receives your cheer card. Please note:

  • Cheer card deliveries take place Monday through Friday.
  • Cards submitted after noon on Friday will be delivered the following Monday.
  • We can only deliver cheer cards to a patient who has been admitted to the hospital (inpatient) and are unable to forward cheer cards submitted after a patient's discharge.

If you don’t know anyone in our hospital right now, but want to brighten a child’s day, simply write “A Special Patient” in the patient name field. Our volunteers will deliver your card to one of the kids in our hospital.
