People&Philanthropy | Funding a Vision

100th Anniversary Celebrating a Century of Care A hundred years ago, Johns Hopkins, first hospital for children opened. The Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children was named for its benefactress, Harriet Lane Johnston, who with her husband Henry Johnston, a Baltimore banker, bequeathed funds to establish a hospital for chronically ill children. Their own sons died in childhood from then untreatable rheumatic heart disease. Since the Lane first opened its doors at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Nov. 21, 1912, pediatric medicine at Johns Hopkins has been translating laboratory science and clinical observation into groundbreaking therapies and discoveries for children. Hopkins pediatric research clinicians were instrumental in ending the childhood scourge that cut short the Johnston children’s lives. n —WS

Since it was launched in 1994 by Hernwood Elementary music teacher Anita Rozenel and her husband, thousands of school-age children, their families and neighbors have hosted runs, bake sales, contests and more, raising more than $1.4 million for the Children’s Center. Additonal groups and corporations recognized—on a plaque in Bloomberg Children's Center—for their contributions of $1 million and more to the hospital over the years are Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), WMAR-TV ABC2, CBS Radio's Mix 106.5 FM, Carroll Independent Fuel, Giant Food, Martin’s Food, Wal-Mart, Rite Aid, WaWa, Credit Unions for Kids and Griffith Energy Services, Inc.
