38th Annual La Rabida Awards Celebration
Gala/Party for La Rabida Children's HospitalNov 21, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
On Thursday, La Rabida will host the 38th Annual Friends of La Rabida Awards Celebration at the renown Ritz-Carlton, Chicago. We will be proudly recognizing: the Polk Bros. Foundation for their unwavering support for more than three decades, and Brian Gaspardo, a dedicated La Rabida Trustee and committed corporate partner. Our honorees share the hospital’s mission of helping children and families in need, and we cannot wait to celebrate them.
The only hospital of its kind in Chicago, La Rabida Children’s Hospital provides specialized, family-centered health care to children with medically complex conditions, disabilities, and chronic illnesses. Using expertise, compassion and advocacy, we help our children reach their fullest potential regardless of the family’s ability to pay. We provide coordinated care and educate patients inside and out of the hospital, so kids can focus on one thing: being kids.
This event is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we want to make sure it’s a success. That’s why we need you! Will you consider donating an item or package to our silent auction? Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of children and their families.
