Columbia Children's Health Gala

On May 12, 2026, the 12th Annual Columbia Children's Gala will take place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. For more than a century, Columbia University has been committed to making a difference in the lives of children. Every year, this event raises funds and awareness to support pioneering research and advancements in treatment to better the lives of children today and for the future. 

This year at the Gala it is our privilege to highlight how the world-renowned doctors and scientists of Columbia Children's Health navigate chronic conditions requiring multi-specialty management for the most complex comprehensive pediatric cases. This continuum of care for our most vulnerable young patients and their families is contingent upon Columbia's multidisciplinary expertise, coordinated care models, and specialized centers. As a destination for the sickest children seeking answers, treatment, and comfort, the talented physician-scientists at Columbia focus on a holistic health approach, addressing physical, mental, and emotional needs, while pushing to integrate the latest research into advanced care for high-risk children throughout their lives. 

We look forward to coming together on May 12, as we work toward an even brighter future of promising outcomes and elevating care for all children.
