"We exist to achieve best outcomes for children everywhere, and Nationwide has been by our side every step of the way."
So says Tim Robinson, CEO of Ohio's Nationwide Children's Hospital, which this week announced a $100 million donation from the Nationwide Foundation, the largest ever from a corporate foundation for a children's hospital in the US, per a press release.
The announcement comes as part of the hospital's Empower the Possible campaign, which has raised more than $270 million, more than halfway to its $500 million goal.
The $100 million donation "represents the largest ever corporate foundation commitment to a children's hospital in the United States," per a press release.

"We are proud of our long-standing support of Nationwide Children's Hospital," says Chad Jester, president of the Nationwide Foundation.
"This historic gesture represents our commitment to the future of children's health and our belief in the world-class
