Children's Circle of Care

 

Children's Circle of Care is an annual giving program and major gifts club for the leading benefactors of 24 prominent children's hospitals in North America. Individuals, couples or family foundations who contribute $10,000 or more in a calendar year to any of the participating hospitals become members of the Children's Circle of Care.SM The mission of the Children's Circle of Care program is to advance philanthropy that supports patient care, teaching and research.

Seattle was the site for the 2009 NALC, where more than 800 Children’s Circle of Care members gathered to experience Seattle’s finest.  Tom Brokaw was the keynote speaker during the luncheon, guests were treated to a private concert with Natalie Cole and enjoyed behind the scenes tours of Seattle landmarks.

The 2010 NALC will be held in Atlanta, Georgia from May 12 – 14th and will showcase the impact of private giving on advancing pediatric medical research and patient care.  Highlights include an energy-packed lunch at the Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons, where featured speaker Jeff Foxworthy will headline the afternoon portion of the day.  The day ends with an elegant black-tie dinner at the Georgia Aquarium, the world’s largest aquarium.  Optional tours during our stay include CNN, World of Coca-Cola and Centennial Olympic Park and Golf at the East Lake Golf Club, the home course of Bobby Jones.
