The Power of Love

the gala for American Family Children’s Hospital

Saturday, March 8, 2025 | Monona Terrace Convention Center, Madison, Wisconsin

Love is at the heart of everything we do at American Family Children’s Hospital. It shines in the hope and resilience of the families who walk through our doors, thrives in the dedication and compassion of our care teams, and inspires our community to unite in unwavering support.

On March 8, 2025, we invite you to feel The Power of Love at our gala. Join us at the Monona Terrace Convention Center for an unforgettable evening celebrating our shared commitment to helping children and families thrive.

This year’s gala will be a joyous celebration of togetherness, featuring a strolling dinner with gourmet offerings, exciting silent and live auctions, an inspiring program highlighting the impact of your generosity, and a special performance by Sixteen Candles, the nation’s premier ‘80s pop experience!

Join us in making a difference for the children who inspire us every day. Together, we’ll create a night to remember and a future full of hope.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Power of Love Gala – where love truly changes everything.
