Columbia Children's Gala

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Columbia Children’s Gala will honor the Hope & Heroes Children's Cancer Fund for their support of Columbia Children’s Health and of the Hope & Heroes Division of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Stem Cell Transplantation.

Hope & Heroes has a long history of dedicated support of Columbia Children’s Health and of the Hope & Heroes Division of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Stem Cell Transplantation at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. By investing in life-saving work on childhood cancer, Hope & Heroes has been a cornerstone in establishing Columbia as the most comprehensive pediatric oncology program in the tri-state area. Their funding has been critical in advancements in cutting-edge research, compassionate clinical care, and top-tier education, allowing Columbia’s pediatric patients to live longer, fuller lives.

After a visionary commitment, Columbia proudly named the Division of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Stem Cell Transplantation in honor of Hope & Heroes. It is our privilege to celebrate their steadfast dedication to Columbia Children’s Health.
