About the Gala

 

Who will be in attendance?

More than 350 guests will be at the 2020 Children’s Hope Gala. Many attending have been personally impacted by the compassionate care provided to a young family member facing medical challenges or terminal illness. These people are often influencers and connectors, as you can see by the reach of the Gala to communities throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but we have decided to cancel the Children’s Hope Gala scheduled for March 21, 2020. We will not be rescheduling the event due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19.

Your support of Bon Secours pediatric programs and services is so appreciated and recognized throughout our health system. We have been monitoring the COVID-19 situation very closely. We are sure you're aware, the state government, along with our Bon Secours Richmond Health System leadership, is taking precautions regarding events and meetings. Our healthcare ministry has a responsibility to protect our patients, staff, and our community.

Our Gala planning committee has worked diligently for almost a year and is extremely disappointed to have to cancel this fundraiser, but not more than the families whom this gala is supporting. On the bright side, we can still have a safe “virtual” silent auction! We have some amazing donated auction items, and we hope you will consider bidding online to win some great packages! Please stay tuned for more details on this exciting opportunity!

Thank you in advance for your understanding. We send best wishes for health and safety in the coming weeks and months.

Please save the date for next year’s event that will be held on March 27, 2021!

 
 
The Children’s Hope Gala proceeds will support the needs of the children and families of Bon Secours pediatric programs and services. Many of the social, emotional and complementary therapies and services are not covered by insurance companies.
