Children’s Ball 2023 was a historic evening for Children's National — an affirmation of our community’s commitment to children’s health and our
follow the leader campaign to transform pediatric medicine. The celebration raised more than $3.3 million for kids in our community and around the world. This success would not have been possible without the generous support of our Children’s Ball co-chairs, leadership committee members and sponsors. Thank you for improving access to the best pediatric care and fueling research that leads to new treatments and cures.
