DEAR FRIENDS,On behalf of Friends of UW Health Board of Directors, welcome to Dream It. Believe It. – the gala for American Family Children’s Hospital. We gather here tonight not only to continue our support of American Family Children’s Hospital, but to celebrate the great successes this world-class hospital has accomplished and to thank you for your support.

John Lennon once said, “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” Together, we dreamed of a state-of-the-art hospital to serve all patients in need. Friends is so proud to be part of that dream. Over the past 12 years, our hardworking and dedicated volunteers hosted seven gala events and several other fundraisers. Thanks to your generous support and that of our amazing community, we have raised more than $3 million to support American Family Children’s Hospital. In addition, Friends raises approximately $280,000 annually to support patients and families at UW Health.

Tonight, we continue the dream. Together we can help the hospital provide innovative, cutting-edge treatments, provide comfort, ease pain and instill hope to the thousands of children and their families who require care.

With your help, we can not only “dream it and believe it,” we can achieve it! Thank you for your continued support.

Michelle OsterPresident, Friends of UW Health

DEAR FRIENDS,It all started with a dream – a beautiful, state-of-the-art children’s hospital in Madison to care for the children of Wisconsin and beyond.

At American Family Children’s Hospital, we have a legacy of dreaming big. Our grand opening in 2007 was unforgettable. We built it and they came. With greater demand for more complex neonatal and pediatric specialty care, we expanded in 2014. Every day, we are exploring new ways to ensure that all kids receive the very highest level of care possible. Linked to a world-class university, we are also at the forefront of discovery – exploring new treatments and cures for those childhood diseases that have remained incurable.

We continue to dream. Further advancing the level of care and discovery of new and more effective treatments is our most important goal.

We are so grateful to the many dreamers, like you, who will help us realize this vision.

On behalf of the thousands of children we care for each year, thank you for everything you do.

of CMT Music Award nominations for Female Video of the Year and Breakthrough

Video of the Year. Her follow-up song, “For A Boy,” is now available on iTunes.

RaeLynn was the fifth-highest selling female country artist in 2015. The vibrant

DREAMS COME TRUEAT AMERICAN FAMILY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

“Why my child?” This is often the first reaction parents have when told that their child has suddenly been injured or diagnosed with a serious disease.

“Thank goodness we are in the right place,” is typically the second reaction.

As shock gives way to coping, families often are overwhelmed by the tremendous reassurance and compassion from the world-renowned pediatric health care professionals at American Family Children’s Hospital.

“It never ceases to amaze me,” says Jeff Poltawsky, the hospital’s senior vice president. “The families whose children are facing the greatest challenges soon become our greatest ambassadors. Their gratitude is what makes it so rewarding for our physicians, nurses, therapists and medical staff to excel at their work each and every day.”

SPECIAL THANKS A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM RICH LYNCHCHAIR, AMERICAN FAMILY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS ADVISORY BOARD

Good evening everyone!

Tonight is about celebrating dreams. As I think back to the first time I toured the pediatric unit within the now adult University Hospital more than 15 years ago and compare that to all that is American Family Children’s Hospital (AFCH) today, I am struck with a great feeling of pride in what has been made possible through the collective efforts of philanthropy–truly a dream come true!

Historically, Friends of UW Health galas have provided a cornerstone for helping to support remarkable care for sick kids at American Family Children’s Hospital. The AFCH Development Partners Advisory Board is fortunate to be joined in our fundraising commitment by the many talented and generous members of Friends. It is with sincere appreciation that we thank the volunteers, staff and donors who have contributed to the tremendous success of these events and look forward to another spectacular evening.

It is with this commitment that we will continue our efforts to expand support for the clinical programs, research and patient services at American Family Children’s Hospital. I invite all of you to join us in knowing, celebrating and supporting this remarkable resource in our community. Thank you for being here tonight, and please continue to be a part of the dreams for the future of all of our children.

Sincerely, Rich Lynch, Chair Development Partners Advisory Board
