Founded in 2007, Cal<\/span>\u2019s Angels<\/span><\/a>, a regional pediatric cancer foundation, is celebrating 15 years of granting wishes, raising awareness, and funding research at their annual Got Hope Gala on February 26. In 15 years the organization has raised millions of dollars to fund pediatric cancer research in Illinois and Iowa hospitals, helped lobby and pass Cal<\/span>\u2019s Law in Illinois, and helped countless families and children during their battles with cancer.<\/p>\n

“We’re thrilled to be celebrating 15 years at the gala this year. Last year, we hosted the event virtually but this time we get to be in person again. The gala has 1,000 attendees and is an exciting time for guests to learn about our mission. Only 4% of what the government spends on cancer research is directed towards treating pediatric cancer which makes every donation that more meaningful,” Stacey Wahlberg, President and Co-Founder of Cal<\/span>‘s\u00a0Angels.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just last year during the Got Hope Gala, Cal<\/span>\u2019s Angels<\/span> raised more than $1 million. With this being one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the nonprofit, Cal’s Angels are aiming to break their record this year. You can purchase single, double, or corporate tickets (10 tickets per package) now via their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
