The Children’s Inn at NIH Gala
The One Party That Captures Everyone’s Heart

Political, medical and corporate leaders joined chairwomen Debbie Dingell and Karyn Frist’s bi-partisan effort to benefit The Children’s Inn at NIH on September 23 at the National Building Museum. Appropriately themed “The One Party that Captures Everyone’s Heart,” this year’s gala grossed over $850,000. Since The Children’s Inn opened in 1990, it has provided over 6,000 pediatric patients and their families a comfortable place to stay together during treatment.

In May, the Inn opened a new wing with 22 additional resident rooms and public spaces, marking the first expansion in its 14-year history.
