During the holiday season, Las Madrinas honored forty California families and their daughters for their service to the Southern California community and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles at the annual Las Madrinas Ball on December 21, 2010 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Over 975 guests from the greater Los Angeles area, gathered to celebrate with the members of Las Madrinas.
Las Madrinas’ President, Patterson Nenninger, formally welcomed the families and guests to the evening and thanked everyone for joining Las Madrinas with their support of the research programs at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. She spoke of the current program, the Las Madrinas Endowment for Autism Research, Interventions and Outcomes, and then recognized the Ball Chairman, Victor Follen Hawley, and the Debutante Chairman, David Adolfo Lamb, for creating the magical evening.
Founded in 1901, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has been treating the most seriously ill and injured children in Los Angeles for more than a century, and it is acknowledged throughout the United States and around the world for its leadership in pediatric and adolescent health.
