Campagni Auto Group Raises Funds for Renown Children's Hospital
June 5, 2026
Dollar-for-dollar matching gift campaign raises over $100,000 for pediatric hospital patients
Renown Health Foundation and Campagni Auto Group, a local, family-owned and operated auto group in Carson City, announced the results of their Campagni Cares community-wide match campaign benefiting Renown Children’s Hospital, the region’s only dedicated pediatric hospital, level II pediatric trauma center and Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) member hospital. The fundraising effort was Campagni Auto Group's first dollar-for-dollar match campaign benefiting the greatest needs at Renown Children’s Hospital. As a part of Campagni Cares, the campaign surpassed its original $50,000 goal, raising a total of $61,603 from the community. With the full matching gift from Campagni Auto Group, the total impact reached $111,603.
“The Campagni Cares matching gift campaign shines a light on the power of community coming together for a shared purpose: supporting care for our youngest patients,” said Brian Erling, MD, MBA, President and CEO at Renown Health. “We are incredibly grateful for Campagni Auto Group and to everyone who donated to the campaign. This kind of community support makes a lasting difference for our patients and their families.”
“Bringing hope and healing to children in our community takes a village, and community partnerships like this enable us to continue to provide high-quality, compassionate care,” said Kris Deeter, MD, MBA, FAAP, Physician-in-Chief at Renown Children’s Hospital and Chair of Pediatrics at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine. “Thank you to our community for stepping up and exceeding expectations. The impact of your generosity will be felt across the entire region.
“Knowing these funds stay local makes our matching gift campaign especially meaningful. My commitment to the campaign is deeply personal, and that’s why it is our honor at Campagni Auto Group to support the health and well-being of kids in our community,” said Jeff Campagni, CEO of Campagni Auto Group. “About ten years ago, my nephew was diagnosed with leukemia — and in that moment, our world stopped. But Dr. Zucker and the incredible team here gave us hope when we needed it most. Because of them, he got to ring that bell, and it’s something we’ll never forget. My son was also born here. Each time we’ve been back with our son, the doctors and nurses didn’t just care for him; they also cared for us. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to an organization that gave us so much.”
All funds raised for Renown Children’s Hospital stay in northern Nevada and directly support care, comfort, and healing services for children and their families, so kids can receive expert care close to home. Support also makes Child Life services and small comforts possible, bringing kids moments of normalcy during long hospital stays while receiving lifesaving treatment. Your generous gift affords much-needed items to help our youngest patients cope with the potential stressors associated with hospitalization and illness.
