Thank You for Making Our Gala a Success!

Dear Friends,
 
Spring is officially here, and we couldn’t have kicked off our 19th year on a more uplifting note than with the Imagine Gala. It was an extraordinary evening filled with laughter, joy, and heartfelt moments as we celebrated the remarkable individuals and organizations that make our mission possible.
 
We extend our deepest gratitude to every one of you who contributed to the success of our event, whether through your sponsorships, generous donations, enthusiastic participation, in-kind donations, or unwavering support. Your presence and generosity helped us raise vital funds to continue our mission of transforming lives and restoring the futures of children in need.

We honored our former patient, Heber Carias, with the HOPE Award, Dr. Jason Frischer of the Colorectal Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital with the MEND Award, and Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children's with the LOVE Award for their unwavering dedication and commitment to making a difference in the lives of children. They inspired us all.
 
We invite you to browse through the photographs from the gala, capturing the magical moments of the evening.

As we reflect on the success of the gala, we are also looking ahead to our upcoming missions, each representing another opportunity to save lives and create lasting change. In just a few weeks, our cardiology team will embark on a mission to Nicaragua, followed by an ENT mission to Tanzania at the end of April. These missions underscore our steadfast commitment to reaching children wherever they are and providing them with the medical care they need to thrive.
 
There are countless ways to continue supporting Mending Kids in our mission. Whether through donations, volunteering your time and expertise, or simply spreading the word about our work, every contribution brings us one step closer to our goal of ensuring that every child has access to life-changing medical care.
 
Thank you for being a part of our incredible journey and for your continued support.
