Community • Connection • Collaboration

The Patchwork Collective (PWC) is a community of pediatric advocacy nonprofit organizations united by the belief that they are stronger together. As a collaborative force, the PWC works to elevate awareness for the often-overlooked pediatric population and strengthen the presence of pediatric advocacy. Founded by Brian Burkhardt (Oliver Patch Project) and Andy Shepperd (Project Outrun), the PWC was born from the realization that meaningful progress happens through partnership. Today, it continues to grow as more organizations embrace a shared, solution-oriented mindset—committed to collaboration, visibility, and positive change for children and families.

Thank you for being a piece of the patchwork.
