Move to assist families with housing costs amid child healthcare
Radian Group has shown continued support for the MBA Open Doors Foundation with a $216,090 donation as part of its Opens Hearts campaign.
Since 2018, Radian has led annual fundraising drives to support Open Doors, in addition to committing $900,000 over nine years to aid the foundation’s partnership with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
This year’s campaign saw over 200 participants from Radian’s team, along with friends, families, and business partners, raising $108,045. With Radian’s matching contribution, the total amounted to $216,090, marking a 40% increase from the previous year’s fundraising efforts.
The group’s contribution bolsters Open Doors’ initiatives to provide mortgage and rental assistance to families with critically ill or injured children. This allows parents and guardians to stay with their children during medical treatment without the looming threat of losing their homes.

“Rick [Thornberry, CEO] and the entire Radian Group team are commended for their generosity,” Open Doors chair Debra Still said in a statement. “Radian has always been an outstanding champion of the Foundation’s mission. As an Opens Doors board member, Rick has led the way in challenging times to raise critical funds for the families Opens Doors helps. He has inspired hundreds of Radian team members and business associates to engage in their annual campaigns, which benefit Opens Doors. Their commitment and financial support for families with critically ill or injured children is inspiring.”
“Our annual Opens Doors Opens Hearts campaign exemplifies the generosity and the spirit of giving that our team, friends, families, and business partners embrace to support families in need,” Thornberry said. “I’m honored to lead a team of extraordinary people who come together each year to raise funds to support families who need our help staying in their homes while they navigate their child’s medical crisis.”
In addition to Radian’s annual campaigns and their support of the Foundation’s partnership with CHOP, Radian has been the lead sponsor of MBA’s concert and auction event at its annual convention and expo for over a decade. In 2023, Concert MBA raised $32,500 for Opens Doors.
