In December, Las Madrinas honored 39 Southern California families and their daughters for their service to the Southern California community and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles at the annual Las Madrinas Ball. Las Madrinas, which has supported pediatric medicine for 75 years, is one of the first Affiliate Groups of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Since 1939, the organization has been honoring families who have demonstrated a commitment to the civic, cultural and philanthropic life of the Los Angeles community by presenting their daughters at the annual Las Madrinas Ball. Donations made in honor of the young women by their families and the annual support of the members and friends of Las Madrinas have created six research endowments at the hospital since 1988. This is the second year of support for the Las Madrinas Endowment for Autism, Interventions and Outcomes. Researchers are working on developing and analyzing new technology for early diagnosis, testing and evaluating therapies and to tracking outcomes. Founded in 1901, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles has been treating seriously ill and injured children for more than a century. It is one of America’s premier teaching hospitals, affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine at USC for more than 75 years, and is a leader in pediatric research.
