Children's National | Children's Ball 2022

Children’s Ball 2022 is scheduled as an in-person event. We continue to monitor CDC COVID-19 guidelines about gathering to ensure that we make the safest decision for our community. We will notify you of any event changes.
This program is an external rental presented in coordination with the Kennedy Center Campus Rentals Office and is not produced by the Kennedy Center.

A black-tie gala celebrating Children’s National Hospital, bringing together business and community leaders to raise critical support for patients and families.

Your sponsorship and generous support of the Children’s Ball will help us achieve our goals for follow the leader, the hospital’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign in more than a decade. Together, we will realize a bold vision for the future of pediatric medicine that saves children’s lives and lifetimes.
