"We are so grateful for the incredible support shown at our Celebrity Bartender event. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised vital funds for St. John’s Child Life Program, which helps bring comfort, understanding, and joy to our youngest patients and their families during what can be very difficult times. Our Child Life specialists use play, education, and emotional support to help children cope with hospitalization and treatment — turning moments of fear into opportunities for healing and hope. Seeing our friends and supporters come together for this cause reminds us what a compassionate and caring community we have at St. John’s."
— Ali Farmer, Director, HSHS St. John’s Foundation
