This event is being styled by the incredibly talented, Grant Whittaker, and hosted by our good friends and amazing partners at Sears Imported Autos, Inc. The goal of this event is to raise $60,000. We hope you can join us for this unique and fun opportunity to support kids and families in our local community!

On Sunday, June 5, the Ferrari Club of America, MN Chapter, and Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) are teaming up to host a day full of fun for Children’s Minnesota patients, families and supporters at the Twin Cities Performance Ferrari Dealership.

After a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, generous donors returned for one of the most impactful philanthropic events in the Twin Cities – the Children’s Minnesota Star Gala. The 30th annual Star Gala benefited the Children’s Minnesota neonatology program, which cares for more newborns than any other program in the region.

This event is exclusive to special guests, as well as our current Leadership Circle members, a group of caring individuals who know how vital excellence in pediatric care is to our community and commit annually to giving $3,000+ to CHA, to support programs and services at Children’s Minnesota.

No parents expect to lose one of their children. But out of all the sadness, Kelly and John want to bring good in their daughter Nora’s name. “We were one of those families in the PICU.
