Supporting Patients at CHOP’s Helping Hands Community Care Challenge
The Minaris Advanced Therapies team was proud to take part in the Helping Hands: Community Care Challenge hosted by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) on Tuesday September 16th at Lincoln Financial Field.
For the second consecutive year, CHOP brought together hundreds of volunteers from across the region for a day of service. Volunteers assembled activity kits for the children and teens who are patients at the hospital. Funds raised through Helping Hands supports Wawa Volunteer Services at CHOP, empowers the expansion of CHOP’s volunteer program, engages more community members in the mission and spreads a ripple effect of kindness throughout the hospital and beyond.
Members of our leadership team pictured below were honored to take part in this year’s event.

At Minaris, our mission goes beyond advancing therapies — it’s about supporting patients throughout their journey to recovery.
“It was a privilege to roll up our sleeves and support CHOP’s Helping Hands event,” said Orla Cloak, CEO of Minaris Advanced Therapies. “Giving back to the community reminds us why we do the work we do — bringing hope and care to patients and families every day.”
We are grateful to CHOP for hosting an inspiring day of activity that has meaningful impact on people and patients in need.
