Connor Finn is kicking off the season of giving with his annual holiday toy drive for the children and teens receiving care at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital. The toy drive brings joy, comfort, and a sense of normalcy to young patients facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses during the holiday season. Every donated gift helps brighten a hospital stay and reminds each child and family that their community is thinking of them.
Join us for our annual Walk for Vivienne, a heartfelt event honoring Vivienne’s memory and all children impacted by Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), the deadliest form of pediatric brain cancer. This walk takes place ahead of DIPG Awareness Day (May 17).
Join us as the Sacred Heart Greenwich community walks out in solidarity with children and families affected by Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), the deadliest pediatric brain cancer. Held during Brain Tumor Awareness Month, this commemorative walk honors Vivienne Finn's legacy while raising critical funds to accelerate research and bring hope to families facing this devastating disease.
This is one of our most meaningful nights of the year. It is a chance to come together, honor the kids we’ve lost, and reflect on how far we’ve come in the fight against DIPG and DMG.
Guests experience an evening filled with inspiration, powerful stories, and unforgettable moments, all while raising critical funds to fuel groundbreaking research. Morning of gala there is a research Symposium where we hear from researchers on their recent findings and breakthroughs.
