  • Honor Roll of Donors
    Children’s Hospital Los Angeles HONOR ROLL OF DONORS For the time period of July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016 At the turn of the 20th century, a group of caring individuals recognized that the city of Los Angeles lacked a hospital equipped to care for children—and so began Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Founded in 1901, the hospital was created with the strength and resolve of its founding members—a legacy that continues on through a generous community of supporters and philanthropic partners. More than a century later, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is proudly recognized as a worldwide leader in pediatric and adolescent health. Through expert clinical care, research and medical education, Children’s Hospital continues to create hope and build healthier futures for children and families in our community and beyond. Generous individuals, organizations and foundations have played an instrumental role in our efforts to give children the opportunity to lead healthy and happy lives. Philanthropy has supported the important work performed by our physicians, nurses and caregivers; accelerated leading-edge research to unearth innovative new therapies; and educated and trained the next generation of pediatric experts. Our extraordinary donors make all of this possible, and we are honored to acknowledge them for their generosity during fiscal year 2016. This Honor Roll recognizes donors for contributions of $1,000 or more, as well as the full value of any active pledge commitments made in prior fiscal years. We are also proud to honor those who have contributed gifts of $150 to $999 on the Red Wagon Society Honor Roll of Donors, viewable at CHLA.org/HonorRoll.

    INSIDE: ANNUAL REPORT, 2008-09 What’s your most vivid memory from Northwest Catholic? Who “were” you at NWC? Who “ are” you now? When you hear the words “Northwest Catholic,” what’s the first word that comes to mind? A Peek into Where NWC Alumni Have “Gone,” Personally, Professionally, and Geographically letter from the PrinciPal/chief administrator Dear Friends, Although every issue of Logos includes some stories about alumni, we have decided this time to make alums the main focus – hence, the collection of brief profiles that makes up our cover story. While this is just a tiny sampling of our alumni, it is so exciting and gratifying to see the “places you’ve gone” and the things you’ve done. This is also the issue that includes our annual report for 2008-09, and we are pleased and proud to tell you that, for the seventh year in a row, we have exceeded the $1-million mark in donations to Northwest Catholic! In a year of such incredible financial uncertainty, this is truly remarkable, and we are grateful and humbled by your support. We also know that many of you have endured reversals recently that have challenged you, and we want you to know that we pray for you as you deal with these situations. With your generous support, we have been able to provide more than $1.2 million in financial aid, renovate five more classrooms with “SMART” technology, renovate the music room and fitness center, purchase a second after-school activity bus, upgrade our technology infrastructure with new servers and an additional T1 line, and maintain our excellent educational program by improving the curriculum and underwriting professional development for our faculty and staff.
