Since 1909, the volunteer-organized Charity Ball has annually gathered the community at the Hotel del Coronado for one memorable night, featuring an elegant formal dinner, lively entertainment, and dancing to honor champions of children’s health. The mission of the ball is to advance and elevate the world-class pediatric healthcare at Rady Children’s Hospital, Charity Ball’s beneficiary since 1954.
Chaired by Micki Olin and co-chair Arlene Esgate, “Imagine” ensured Rady Children’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit continues to provide the highest level of comprehensive, innovative, and compassionate care for critically ill or injured young patients in their time of greatest need.
