Phoenix Children’s Hospital Leadership Circle Launches 2016 Season

More than 150 members and guests attended Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Leadership Circle cocktail kickoff event on Nov. 4 at a private residence in Paradise Valley.

Attendees listened to touching stories of patients Chance, Isaac, Noah, Chloe, Rliey, Leyla and Wyatt about the care they have received at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and how it has changed their lives.

The Leadership Circle, led by Jill Krigsten, 2016 chair, was founded in 2004 to help fund specific programs and projects at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Annually, each member gives a minimum donation of $1,000, with many members giving more. Over the past decade, the Circle has given $3.3 million to the hospital’s programs.
