Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) Auxiliary hosted a la Carte on April 13, featuring 25 dining establishments across central Arkansas. The tasting event raised more than $100,000 in net proceeds which will provide critical funds needed to support expert pediatric care at ACH.
More than 500 people attended the annual event, which was held in person for the first time since 2019.
DJ Jelly Bean provided music for the occasion while patrons danced and mingled in the Angel One Transport Hangar, a new venue for the event.
“We couldn’t be happier with the success of this year’s event,” said Vanessa Delgadillo, executive director of philanthropy for Arkansas Children’s Foundation. “Children are at the center of everything we do, and these funds will help us further our mission to champion children by making them better today and healthier tomorrow.”
The premier online silent auction featured more than 80 items, including artwork collaborations between local artists and Arkansas Children’s patients.
