The Gala

The 2013 Gala will be held on April 20th at the Sofitel in Bloomington, MN. It 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.

Thanks to all who attended the 8th Annual Passport to Smiles Gala!

The 2012 Gala was a great success! This year's event took place at the Sofitel Hotel Bloomington on April 21, 2012. It was a full evening with great food, live and silent auctions, wonderful entertainment, and heartfelt presentations from Lora Koppel and Peter Melchert. Thanks also to our emcee Kerri Miller from Minnesota Public Radio who set the tone for a very successful and enjoyable evening.
