Franciscan Children’s Presents A Future in Bloom Dinner Gala

An evening of celebrating courageous kids and generous hearts

WHAT: Join Franciscan Children’s in celebrating exceptional patients, staff and donors at the “A Future in Bloom” Gala at the InterContinental Boston. At Franciscan Children’s, every child – regardless of their multifaceted diagnoses, physical trials or emotional traumas – is encouraged to “blossom” and live their best life every day.

This annual Dinner Gala is the largest fundraising event of the year for Franciscan Children’s and the theme for the evening, A Future in Bloom, is fitting at this time in its history. As the need for services is growing, so is Franciscan Children’s growth strategy as the organization strengthens its role as a key player in the pediatric medical ecosystem in Boston. The theme will be reflected throughout the evening with a dynamic flower wall and living environmental sculptures who will be available to pose with guests.

WHO:

• News anchor and journalist Janet Wu, Gala Host
• Dr. Michael Yogman, Keynote Speaker and Notable Pediatrician
• Hundreds of dedicated supporters and Boston’s most influential
• Presenting sponsors The Hamilton Company and New Balance Foundation

 
As part of the evening, Franciscan Children’s will also debut a video featuring three former patients of Franciscan Children’s who battled mental health challenges and came out on the other side.
