Celebrating the farming company’s 100th anniversary, the James G. Boswell Foundation gave $3 million to Valley Children’s Healthcare to help patients during and after their hospital stay.

Money will go to college scholarships, sports programs for children with disabilities, and to renovate the hospital’s chapel, according to a news release from the hospital.

“Our mission is to give back to the communities in which we operate, and it means so much to us to partner with an organization like Valley Children’s that really does make such a profound difference in families’ lives,” said Cameron Boswell, vice president of administration for the J.G. Boswell Company.

“They’re at the forefront of saving lives, and I don’t think there is a more important cause than that.”

Money Will Go to Cancer Survivors, Children With Disabilities

College scholarships will go to cancer survivors in the Fresno Truck Center Cancer Survivorship Program. The program provides long-term care to cancer survivors, including annual screenings, dietary counseling, and help overcoming insurance obstacles. Doctors promote healthy lifestyle and look for new treatments.

Money will also go to purchasing new sports equipment for children with physical disabilities. On the spiritual side, the funding will expand the hospital’s chaplaincy program, including renovations for the Jensen Family Chapel.

It also will help expand services for patients in the neonatal intensive care unit, those receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and kidney care.

“We are deeply grateful for the James G. Boswell Foundation’s extraordinary generosity and the family’s unwavering trust in our team,” said Todd Suntrapak, CEO of Valley Children’s. “Their support is a testament to their belief in our mission and the vital work we do for the children and families of our region.”
