Benefitting Bon Secours Pediatric Programs and Services


Children are the future, and their futures depend on good health. With your help, all kids can turn to Bon Secours when facing medical challenges, an injury, or even a terminal illness. Your generous support of the Children's Hope Gala provides crucial funding for an array of pediatric programs and services at Bon Secours.

Bon Secours Richmond Health Care Foundation's Children's Hope Gala is one of Richmond's premier charity events, attended each year by more than 350 guests. Many who participate are grateful for the compassionate care their own young loved ones have received at Bon Secours and want to pay it forward for other families.
