Comma Club encompasses a committed group of participants who have raised $1,000+ for Walk for Children’s, earning the comma in their fundraising total.

These patient champions, clinical staff, corporate leaders, and compassionate community members create an impact that spreads far beyond the walls of our hospital and into the hearts of all who have been touched by UPMC Children’s Hospital. In 2025, our Comma Club raised a collective $113,616.31 for UPMC Children’s!

Members of the Comma Club are honored with exclusive recognition gear, day-of event perks, and more!

If you are interested in becoming a member of Comma Club but you’re not sure where to start, reach out to Clay Rehm at clayton.rehm@chp.edu.
