The Bash

The Annual Gala is Children’s Surgery International’s largest fundraising event. Each year, volunteers, patrons, friends, healthcare providers and community members gather to celebrate, honor and support the work of CSI. Together, we are changing lives and strengthening communities, one child at a time.
