Celebrate John Muir Health! is John Muir Health Foundation’s annual signature fundraising event in support of John Muir Health. Started in 2014, each year’s event has a unique theme, and proceeds benefit a particular department, area or program of John Muir Health. Past events have raised $1 million or more for John Muir Health’s pediatric intensive care unit and comprehensive cancer services.
John Muir Health Foundation’s annual Award of Distinction event recognizes and celebrates outstanding leadership, service and philanthropy among John Muir Health physicians and community leaders. Established in 1987, this award is the highest honor the Foundation can bestow on remarkably accomplished and generous individuals.
Donors who give $5,000 or more annually are invited to a special recognition dinner where John Muir Health organizational and medical leaders provide updates on the important work that philanthropy helps make possible. The 2018 program featured a presentation by Kathleen Odne on "The Meaning of Philanthropy," as well as an inspirational story from patient, Attila Bardos (at left holding his granddaughter), about the extraordinary care he received at John Muir Health following a severe stroke.
Our annual Legacy Brunch is an elegant, yet relaxed event designed to thank the very special donors who have included John Muir Health in their estate plans, along with longtime loyal annual donors.
