On June 2, we celebrated 160 years at the Edison Ballroom with both style and purpose as generous supporters responded with full hearts and raised paddles to the urgent humanitarian needs of families facing homelessness in our city. We are grateful to our donors, sponsors, benefit committee, staff, volunteers, and everyone who contributed to make last night a turning point in the lives of our patients. We couldn't have done it without the help of our MC, Monica Morales, and auctioneer, Harry Santa-Olalla. A huge thank you to all.

Help The Floating Hospital continue a tradition that began in 1866 of providing care to families who have lost everything, along with resources to rebuild their lives.

On 4/29, our staff wore jeans to work to mark Denim Day, a chance to support Sexual Violence Awareness Month.

The campaign began as a response to the overturning of a r**e conviction by the Italian Supreme Court, because the victim was wearing tight jeans that the court ruled she must have removed herself to help her assailant. Women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans to work the next day to protest the verdict. The protest made international news and it’s been observed ever since.

We are delighted to note that National Volunteer Week is taking place until April 25. Volunteers are central to our mission and how we help families every day. Beginning in the 19th century, volunteer physicians sailed on our first ships to give care to children who needed it most. That same spirit of giving to those less fortunate continues to animate programs such as Women's Wellness, Camp Rise Up, Candy Cane Lane, and much more.
A big thanks to everyone who has given time to our cause.
