#myRCH event raises more than $250,000 for Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel
PORTLAND, ORE. – The fourth annual #myRCH event, held October 23, raised $250,000 for Randall Children’s Hospital.
The theme this year was a virtual pajama party, and featured the work of Randall Children’s providers, patient testimonials and a livestream raffle to celebrate the hospital’s courageous kids, while raising funds for its exceptional programs. The format was changed to follow COVID-19 guidelines for physical distancing.
Donors heard the story of Leah Lopez, who made national headlines this year as one of the nation’s first kids diagnosed with the COVID-19-related illness, Multi-inflammatory Syndrome in Children. The experts at Randall Children’s collaborated on her lifesaving treatment.
Gold sponsors this year included Gold + Arrow Salon, Ida P. Colver and Roger C. Ray, Violetta Office, Northwest Newborn Specialists/MEDNAX and PacificSource Health Plans.
Randall Children’s Hospital Foundation raises funds for the hospital, a regional leader in the care of babies, children and teens — blending the finest in medical services with family-friendly spaces.
Randall Children’s Hospital is part of Legacy Health – the area’s largest local, nonprofit health system.
