Our Cause
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
The Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation’s 2025 Black Tie Tailgate once again benefited the Department of Nursing at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The department’s 6,000 nurses, respiratory therapists and technicians are committed to providing expert, compassionate care while advancing education and research. Funds raised support the department’s patient, family, community, and staff programs and initiatives.
Recent Results
Our 2025 event raised more than $345,000 for CHOP. In total, over $3 million has been raised since the Department of Nursing was first named beneficiary in 2018.
History of Giving
The Auto Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia (ADAGP) made its first donation to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in 1986. The $50,000 donation was given after the 1986 Philadelphia Auto Show. Since then, the ADAGP and its entities have donated more than $10 million to the Hospital. Today, donations are made through the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation.
