Honoring Jamie’s Memory

Jamie Knotts was only 5 months old when she passed away from a rare liver cancer. Over the past seven years, Jamie’s Run has raised more than $380,000 for Cancer Clinical Trials and Family Support Programs at Connecticut Children’s in her name.

Your participation supports leading-edge cancer research, providing essential resources necessary to find a cure. Beyond the medicine, emotional and financial assistance is crucial to families fighting this disease. The diagnosis of a child with cancer is devastating. Until a cure is found, the mission of Jamie’s Run is to care for the whole family as they move through treatment and beyond.

Individual and team fundraising is available at jamiesrun.org.

2018 Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Gala

Register or Sponsor    Donate    View 2017 Photo Gallery

You only need to step inside Connecticut Children’s Medical Center to understand what a truly extraordinary place it is. It’s a place where kids can be kids and healing begins. At Connecticut Children’s, world-class physicians and staff deliver world-class care, conduct life-saving research and make the impossible possible each and every day.

On Saturday, November 10, Connecticut Children’s will host a Peter Pan-inspired Gala at the Connecticut Convention Center. With your support, and a little a belief, trust & pixie dust, we are striving to raise $1.2 million to ensure that a healthy childhood is possible for tens of thousands of children in our state and beyond.

The Gala pre-event cocktail reception will include a London cityscape, complete with Big Ben, unique silent auction items, living trees and street performers. The ballroom will be transformed into Neverland where you can experience all the magic and wonder of childhood. The evening will conclude with dancing to live music.

Best of all, you don’t need pixie dust to join us —you can simply become a sponsor, reserve a table, buy tickets, donate an item for the auction, or become an Honorary Committee member. For more information please contact Bree Pelczar at bpelczar@connecticutchildrens.org.
