Beginning in 1988, Las Madrinas made a commitment to establish and fund specific endowments in order to best meet the needs of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). We have earned a reputation for fostering leading-edge research that holds promise for future generations.
$5 Million Endowment
Funds raised by Las Madrinas will be a crucial investment in the Neurological Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, a first-of-its kind program that brings together experts from the Division of Neurology and Division of Neurosurgery under one roof to provide well-coordinated, comprehensive treatment. This collaboration facilitates an unsurpassed continuum of care, allowing an interdisciplinary team of specialists to guide approximately 16,000 infants, children and adolescents who have neurological conditions throughout all stages of illness—from diagnosis to treatment to surgery and rehabilitation—every year.
