On Feb. 20, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia held its third annual Cheers for CHOP. Nearly 600 supporters attended the event at the Valley Forge Casino. Guests enjoyed food, cocktails, silent and live auctions, and dancing to the live entertainment of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Go Go Gadjet, and Saved by the 90s. Speakers Katy Friedland, Friends of CHOP president, and event cochairs Allison and Jon Lubert, and Jen and Jon Rodack addressed the crowd, celebrating the mission and commitment of Children's Hospital to advance its research, teaching, and clinical priorities. In the end, their efforts were a success, as $625,000 was raised to benefit CHOP's emergency department, which treats nearly 90,000 patients a year.
