The 24th annual Children’s Hospital Gala’s Wonderland theme was the ideal fantasy backdrop to launch a very real fundraising campaign – $100 million – to transform Golisano Children’s Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC). The capital project for the new hospital is the largest in the University’s history. The $100 million campaign also represents a large portion of URMC’s overall $650 million campaign. Both are components of The Meliora Challenge: The Campaign for the University of Rochester, which is the $1.2 billion comprehensive campaign announced last week.
