Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith’s 'Quality Moments Matter' campaign will take place on Sunday, November 17 and Monday, November 18.
Shropshire communities will come together to raise money for the online fundraising challenge, and each £1 that is donated by the public will be doubled on those two days thanks to "match funding" from local businesses.
The charity is calling on the county's residents to become "Quality Moments Matter Champions" and help to spread the message and get people to donate.
Fundraising activities have been planned for the weekend to raise money, including a 24-hour dance-a-thon that will take place from Sunday into Monday - led by head of care Karen Wright and other staff from across the charity.
Head of fundraising at Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith, Alison Marsh said: “We want all local children with life-threatening conditions to have access to adventures and the chance to giggle, play and thrive.
“To never be told that things are impossible because they are ill, but instead to be surrounded by specialist nurses and therapists who help them to overcome challenges and provide opportunities to have the best quality of life possible.
“Our Quality Moments Matter 36-hour fundraising marathon needs to raise £400,000 to do this, and we need your help to raise this money.
“The best part of this fundraising campaign is that every £1 you donate to Quality Moments Matter will be match funded and doubled.
“That’s the power of one donation – twice the impact. Please join together with us and help us achieve something truly amazing.”
You can donate or register to be a "Quality Moments Matter Champion" at hopehouse.org.uk/qmm or by calling 01691 671671.
