Tribute Gifts are available with a donation of $250.  The person’s name or group’s name will be engraved onto a plaque displayed in the new Children’s Hospital and Women’s Hospital.

An acknowledgement letter will be sent to you with a card to send to the honoree to let them know of your thoughtful gift.

Sponsor a Mott Patient

Mott TilesSponsor Mott patients to make decorative clay tiles that will be installed in the new University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Women’s Hospital.

Nearly 1,500 of hand-made tiles are being crafted by former and current patients and will be installed permanently in the new facility. 

For a donation of $100, community members can sponsor a Mott patient to create a tile.   A donation of $1000 will purchase a tile set, which is a set of 4 Mott patient tiles with a border of specialty tiles. The tiles will help create a soothing atmosphere and will be used to help patients and families find their way around the new facility. 

Make your Mark

University of Michigan Health System employees, volunteers, and their families may also support the new hospital by painting an outdoor Pewabic Pottery tile that will be used on a special UMHS Family Tile Wall display to be installed on the building exterior in the outdoor garden.

For a donation of $55, employees, volunteers and their families can leave their mark on the new facility.

Tile Posters

Posters have been created that represent some of the hand crafted tiles that Mott patients have created that will be permanently installed in the new C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital.  These are available for purchase for $10.
