The Clark Gillies Foundation is a non-profit corporation developed to help children who are physically, mentally, or financially challenged. Our goal is to help children improve the quality of life for them and their family during difficult circumstances. We have traditionally allocated 100 percent of the funds raised at various events to help children, thanks to the donations of many organizations and individuals. Our continued progress depends on the charity of others. Explore this site and find out how you can help.

The Clark Gillies Pediatric Unit at Huntington Hospital is one project that we have been passionate about. This pediatric unit is a vital resource for families throughout the community. This unit has been named after Clark and his foundation, which raised one million dollars to help fund the construction of the unit.  We have continued our association with Huntington Hospital by creating Brianna’s Cub room within the Clark Gillies Pediatric Unit and by creating The Clark Gillies Pediatric Emergency Room which is staffed and equipped for specifically for children.
