Last week, the Young Professionals Unit hosted the inaugural Big Hero Charity Golf Outing in partnership with Little Heroes League (LHL) to support medically complex babies at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. The unit's first major fundraising event raised over $110,000 to support the Little Heroes League program, which provides care coordination services to babies and their families in the NICU.
The event took place on May 12 at the beautiful Fairbanks Ranch Country Club and was very well-attended, with 140 guests enjoying a private 18-hole course, beverages, lunch, and special activations and prizes along the way. Once golf was completed, guests attended the dinner reception, which included live and silent auction items and an introduction to the Little Heroes Program from the family that founded it.
During the reception, we heard from a grateful family – Andrea Fletcher shared her emotional journey with twins Aubrey & Aiden, showing how LHL’s care coordinators made a life-changing impact during their months-long stay at Rady Children's NICU. The twins are doing well and were able to join us for the event, marking their first 'social outing' since being in the hospital.
Thank you to everyone who played, donated, and helped make our first event a huge success!
