The Party of the Year

Thank you for attending The Party of the Year!

Your support of The Party of the Year makes a profound impact on our community, ensuring that Cottage Health can continue providing the highest quality of care to children and families in our community.

This year, we raised a record total of over $810,000 to benefit Cottage Children’s Medical Center (CCMC). Proceeds from the 2026 Party of the Year support a full spectrum of pediatric care—from emergency services and over a dozen outpatient specialties to the quiet comforts that surround a child’s healing.

Check back on March 13 to access event photos.

After surviving the 2025 Palisades Fire, Emily Sunderland's water broke at 28 weeks and baby Athena was born soon after. The expert NICU team at Cottage Children's Medical Center supported not only Athena but the entire Sunderland family—providing compassionate, comprehensive care that helped them stabilize and rebuild their lives in Santa Barbara. Watch the video to learn more about Athena's story.

The Giving Sea offers the chance to fund items that support our youngest patients, their families, and the caregivers who serve them. From soothing a newborn to empowering a nurse or helping provide life-saving equipment, your gift becomes part of a shared story of healing and hope.
