Drew Barrymore, The Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation and The Los Angeles Kings To Be Honored at 2016 Children’s Hospital Los Angeles ‘Once Upon
- Updated: August 30, 2016
LOS ANGELES (August 30, 2016) – On Saturday, October 15, 2016, more than 1,200 people will attend the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles ‘Once Upon a Time’ Gala at The Event Deck at L.A. LIVE. The biennial event will bring together prominent philanthropists, business and entertainment community leaders, local dignitaries and hospital supporters to raise funds for the hospital to provide expert critical care to its pediatric population.
Actress Drew Barrymore, The Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation and The Los Angeles Kings hockey team will each receive the Courage to Care award, which was inspired by Dustin Meraz, an 11-year-old terminally ill cancer patient whose legacy was to encourage others to have the courage to care for children in need. While these champions of children and child-related causes come from varied backgrounds and industries, they share a common bond through their participation in philanthropy, altruism and activism to improve the welfare of children worldwide. Past honorees include Natalie Portman, Johnny Depp, Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum, Jamie Lee Curtis, Pau Gasol, Costco Wholesale and The Walt Disney Company.
“This evening is a celebration of the ongoing commitment these compassionate individuals have made to the patients and families we serve,” says Paul S. Viviano, president and CEO, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Drew Barrymore is an actress, author, director, producer, model, businesswoman, humanitarian and mother. Her dedication to helping children in need has fortified her commitment to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Her annual Mother’s Day pampering events in conjunction with her company Flower Beauty have had a lasting positive impact on CHLA’s patient families. In 2007 Barrymore was named an Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme. She is also a supporter of Safe Kids Worldwide, an organization that promotes injury prevention and child safety.
