2025 Champions for Children Dinner

Wednesday, October 8, 2025

For over 30 years, Hope Street Margolis Family Center at California Hospital Medical Center has been committed to providing services that support the health, welfare and education of low-income children and families living in downtown, central and south Los Angeles. Hope Street serves over 5,000 children and parents annually through an array of in-home and on-site services including early childhood education, mental health, adult education, child welfare and youth programs.

Our mission is to educate children, strengthen families and transform the community. 100% of all contributions will directly support Hope Street’s education, health and wellness programs including our after-school and Summer of Science program for youth ages 5–18. Your generous support will allow us to continue providing critical services and care to the children and families who come to us in need.

For more information, including sponsorship opportunities, please contact Angelo Kairuz at Angelo.Kairuz@CommonSpirit.org or (213) 742-5747. Read a recap of the 2025 event.
