Celebrate our Annual Gala on Saturday, October 22, 2022!

Dearest friends,

Founded in 1989, the Friends of Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital has helped to improve the health and wellbeing of pediatric patients through support of clinical care, education and outreach. Through the years, our fundraising efforts have secured more than $2.6 million dollars from philanthropic friends and benefactors.

We invite your support of our mission and ask that you give generously to this year’s Gala. The event will honor Clifford W. Bogue, MD, Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Pediatrics and Chair of Pediatrics Yale School of Medicine and Chief of Pediatrics and Chief Medical Officer Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital. We are honored to present Dr. Bogue with this year’s Marna P. Borgstrom Lifetime Friend Award to recognize his extraordinary commitment to pediatric medicine.

This year the Friends will make a commitment to continue our support of the new, state-of-the-art Children’s Heart Center and to supplement our Pediatric Allocation Fund, which supports many initiatives that enhance the care of patients at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital.

Thank you in advance for your generosity to the 2022 Friends Gala. We look forward to a most auspicious celebration and hope to see you on October 22nd.
