40th Anniversary Children’s Gala Raises Record $2.4 Million Nearly 1,300 donors and devoted community supporters gathered for the 40th Anniversary Children’s Gala on Sept. 23, 2017. The elegant black-tie affair celebrated a history of excellence in pediatric health care and raised more than $2.4 million for Children’s Hospital Colorado – a new fundraising record for the 40-year-old event.
