Event Details
An Evening of Garden Folly
The Spring Gala and Auction, An Evening of Garden Folly, will be hosted on Saturday, April 27th, 2024 at the iconic Fairmont San Francisco.
This year’s event celebrates the healing power of nature and the unique ways both beneficiaries prescribe outdoor time in their care programs. The regenerative beauty of George Mark Children’s House’s Hummingbird Hill Garden is a specific source of inspiration for the evening, and a sacred space for families while staying there.
Attended by over 400 Bay Area-based men and women, the Spring Gala is the biggest single fundraising effort by Children’s Health Guild. Guests are invited to an evening of cocktails, dinner, and dancing, along with stellar live and silent auctions.
In 2023, the event raised over $450,000. Help the ladies of CHG reach their 2024 fundraising goal of $475,000, to allow both our beneficiaries to extend their reach across the community.
Your support of this cause allows us to continue to bring Hope for Tomorrow!
