Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is competing against three other pediatric hospitals to raise donations ahead of this Sunday's NFL playoff games.
The Cincinnati pediatric hospital is joined by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Children’s Mercy Kansas City and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford in California for the Touchdown for Kids fundraising competition.

Each hospital represents a city that's home to an NFL team ‒ the Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers ‒ competing in the AFC or NFC championship games Sunday.
In honor of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin and February being American Heart Month, the donations will support children's heart research, a press release said. Each hospital is hoping to raise $15,000.
Donations for the challenge will be counted until midnight Feb. 13, and can be made online at give.cincinnatichildrens.org/touchdown.
