The Gala

The Passport to Smiles Gala is held annually and is Children’s Surgery International’s largest fundraising event. Each year, volunteers, patrons, friends, providers and community members gather to celebrate, recognize and support the work of the organization. The evening offers a social hour, three-course dinner, presentations from community leaders and silent and live auctions. It is a highly anticipated event, unforgettable in the way that it reinforces the importance of Children’s Surgery International’s mission and work.
