Portland, OR. The fourth annual #myRCH event raised $250,000 for Randall Children’s Hospital. The theme for the October 23rd fundraiser was a virtual pajama party; it was moved from in-person to online to follow COVID-19 guidelines for physical distancing. Dale Johannes of Artisan Auctions and event coordinator Alyson Evans are pictured above in their PJs. The virtual event highlighted the work of Randall Children’s providers, patient testimonials, and a livestream raffle to celebrate the hospital’s courageous kids, while raising funds for its programs.

Donors heard the story of Leah Lopez, who made national headlines this year as one of the nation’s first kids diagnosed with the COVID-19-related illness, Multi-inflammatory Syndrome in Children. The experts at Randall Children’s collaborated on her lifesaving treatment. (Photo courtesy ABC News)
