Please join Friends of UW Health for an uplifting and heartfelt luncheon celebrating the lifesaving mission of American Family Children’s Hospital.

Hearts and Hands will take place on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, beginning at 11:30 am at the beautiful Overture Center for the Arts in Madison. Together, we’ll gather in a space filled with hope, compassion and community.

This year’s program will feature an extraordinary patient story—one that will stay with you long after the event ends. It’s a powerful reminder of the courage of our children, the dedication of their care teams, and the profound impact supporters like you make every day.

Your presence—and your generosity—will help advance the Hope Begins Here campaign, supporting the build-out of the hospital’s sixth floor. With your help, we can ensure that every child receives the world-class care they deserve, right when they need it most.

We hope you’ll be part of this inspiring afternoon of connection, purpose and possibility.
