Imagine the possibilities in our Garden of Dreams

Please join us at the Riverside Convention Center on April 2, 2026, as we Imagine the Possibilities in our Garden of Dreams.

You have been the roots of our mission, helping Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital flourish into a place where hope blossoms and healing grows. With more than one hundred dedicated pediatric specialists caring for children across San Bernardino, Riverside, Inyo, and Mono Counties, your support continues to nurture brighter futures every day.

Proceeds from our 33rd annual Children’s Hospital Foundation Gala will help expand pediatric specialty services and advance cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital through our Stronger Together campaign.

Your generosity makes it possible for our hospital to provide life-saving treatments and continue advancing our world-class pediatric care for the 1.2 million children in our region.

So, step into your most elegant garden party attire and join us for an enchanted evening where dreams take root and possibilities bloom.
