A ball for breakthroughs
We can’t thank you enough! The 2019 Carousel Ball, presented by Wawa, raised a record-breaking $3.5 million to benefit the Cardiac Center at CHOP. It was truly a night to remember!
About the Ball
A signature fundraiser for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia since 1957, the Carousel Ball is the highlight of the fall season for dedicated CHOP supporters and the entire philanthropic community. This year’s ball raised funds for the Cardiac Center, one of the world’s largest and most accomplished pediatric heart centers.
Our Inspiration
Our inspiring patients — from the Cardiac Center and other hospital specialties — are the reason we gather every other year for the Carousel Ball.
