Community members and philanthropic supporters will gather for an elegant evening of purpose and celebration at\u00a0\u201cApril in Paris,\u201d\u00a0a Parisian-inspired fundraising event benefiting\u00a0UCSF Benioff Children\u2019s Hospital Oakland. The event will take place on\u00a0April 11 at 6:00 p.m. at Claremont Country Club\u00a0in Oakland.<\/p>\n
Hosted by\u00a0Hill Branch, this special evening will bring together local leaders, supporters, and families who share a commitment to advancing critical pediatric care for children throughout the East Bay and beyond. This year\u2019s event aims to raise funds for the Children\u2019s Oncology Group. UCSF Benioff Children\u2019s Hospital Oakland enrolls approximately 100 children each year in cancer clinical trials, none of which are reimbursed by insurance. The more children enroll, the more robust the results become, and the more children gain access to potentially life-saving new treatments.<\/p>\n
The mission behind the evening is deeply personal for many in the community. Among the families impacted is a local family whose daughter is currently receiving treatment under the care of Dr. Karen Rabin, one of the dedicated physicians serving patients at UCSF Benioff Children\u2019s Hospital Oakland. Their journey highlights the profound importance of compassionate, world-class pediatric care and the vital role community support plays in making that care possible.<\/p>\n
