Proceeds from the Grimm Gala will fund the Grimmster Endowment at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital Foundation. After members of the Grimm cast visited patients at Doernbecher, they were inspired to establish the Grimmster Endowment, an endowed fund to help provide patients and families critical support associated with uncompensated care, travel, lodging and other services integral to the care and comfort of our most vulnerable patients. Before the last gala, the Grimmster Endowment had already raised more than $652,000 for the kids at Doernbecher. This video shows the actor’s committment to the hospital.

Sponsors for the Grimm Gala included Comcast, NBCUniversal and Nike.

From Doernbecher:

Each year, we treat more than 66,000 patients, half of whom are under-insured.
