The 57th Annual

children's hospital foundation ball

Friday, November 5, 2021

Over the past few months, all of us on the Junior Board of Children’s Hospital Foundation have been working to map out new ways to hold the Ball within the current environment brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. With input from Hospital and Foundation leadership, and in consideration of all the advance planning required to make the Ball a success and the uncertainty we feel going into the fall, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Ball.

This marks the first year since 1964 that we will not come together at the Annual Ball in support and celebration of the many children and families served by our hospital.

Of course, the important work being done at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU isn’t stopping. Whether kids are battling cancer, receiving life-saving surgery, or needing emergent care, CHoR is continuing to meet the needs of our community’s children and families. In addition, construction is moving forward on the new inpatient hospital, with the concrete and steel structure beginning to rise out of the foundation and up into the Richmond skyline.

If you are able, we invite you to make an online gift in support of the Junior Board’s efforts so that we can continue this transformative project even during a time of great disruption.

​

We wish you all the best with whatever other changes have come your way this year, and we hope to see you on November 5, 2021.
