  11. Pediatric Trauma Program Preferred Charities How to Get Involved: Begin fundraising for PTP prior to Fall Rally. At Fall Rally, Lt. Governors can be “bought” with the money that you fundraise as a division. Coordinate a day to create PTP Dolls, which help children understand their injuries and the possible procedures that they will undergo.
