Camp del Corazon will be holding its 22nd Annual Gala del Sol on Saturday April 5, 2025, at the Skirball Center’s Herscher Hall. This black-tie event includes dinner, an open bar, and expansive silent and live auctions. We are excited to be honoring Dr. Kevin Shannon and Dr. Heatherly Vandeweghe. Our dear friend Tom Arnold will be returning as host.

All proceeds from the evening go directly to Camp del Corazon, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, founded in 1995, that provides FREE year-round experiential opportunities for children and young adults living with heart disease. Our programs include a residential summer camp for children ages 7-17 on Catalina Island, a weekend retreat for young adults ages 18-25, an educational symposium for heart families, and ongoing community-building activities year-round.

In 2025 Camp del Corazon hopes to serve more than 600 children and families through our year-round programs, including sending more than 300 kids to summer camp.

We hope that you will consider supporting our organization’s efforts with a sponsorship or In-kind donation to our Gala. As a grassroots organization with over 250 volunteers, we rely upon this fundraising event to cover the costs of our programs so that any child or young adult with heart disease can participate free-of-charge.
