David’s House is a 20-bedroom, home-away-from-home for families with children
receiving medical care through the Children’s Hospital at
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Founded in 1986, the house is named
in memory of David Cyr who passed away at age 5 after a long battle with
leukemia.
David’s House is a registered 501c3
nonprofit in Lebanon NH that has served as a haven for over 13,500
families who have needed overnight accommodations. Guest families
include: 9,183 families from NH; 3,084 families from VT; 1,190 families
from 42 other U. S. states; 1 family from a U. S. Territory; 43 families
from other nations and counting!
We
provide a warm, caring, fully stocked “home” for families whose worlds
have been turned upside down. Guests may come for a day or for many
months – it all depends on what the ill or injured child needs. David’s
House operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help families stay
together and stay strong during this most difficult time.
We
charge no fees for our housing, food or laundry services, so
fundraising is very important and we’d like to ask you to help by
joining Team David’s House in the upcoming CBHM.
Members of Team David’s House are asked to raise $500 (tax deductible), and are responsible for the $95 race registration fee.

- A gathering tent at the start/finish with team-only snacks and refreshments

- Free team-only post-race massages
- Exclusive runner gifts

The Family Place
The Family Place is a private, non-profit organization founded in 1985 in White River Junction, Vermont, by a group of community members concerned about the well-being of young children. Shortly thereafter, we were designated by the State of Vermont to be the Parent Child Center for the area. Last year, The Family Place reached over 1,700 children from 1,200 families in the Upper Valley region of New Hampshire and Vermont. We offer programs for all families with young children, with an emphasis on intensive, holistic support for those most in need. Our programs address critical quality-of-life issues, including child safety, financial stability, healthy development, mental health, literacy and education, food and housing security. From the beginning, we have maintained a strong focus on the most vulnerable young children; we are the primary provider of prevention and intervention programs for children birth to three.
Team members commit to raising $500 and The Family Place will pay the $95 registration fee.
In recognition of your hard work, our runners will enjoy these benefits:
