Children's Circle of Care celebrates another successful conference.
A Unified Circle
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
As the 2008 North American Leadership Conference came to a close this spring, conference attendees celebrated the impact their private investments have on the health and well-being of children in North America.
The Children's Circle of Care North American Leadership Conference and Gala Dinner took place June 18-20 in Denver, Colo., honouring philanthropists who donated $10,000 or more to their local children's hospital in 2007.
Children's Circle of Care (CCC) was founded in 1995 and currently represents significant donors from 24 of North America's most prestigious children's hospitals, including The Hospital for Sick Children. CCC members share the belief that every child deserves 360 degrees of care, which moves beyond physical health to include the emotional well-being for both the child and their family.
This year's conference featured many inspirational speakers including Dr. Jennifer Hagman, medical director of the Eating Disorders Treatment Program, The Children's Hospital, Colo. The conference also included unforgettable performances by musicians Judy Collins and Ace Young.
