As the region's only health system solely dedicated to children's health, we are focused on accelerating access to high quality and sustainable healthcare for our community.

A great way to get involved with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is by participating in one of our events! From large galas to fashion shows and prom, there are a variety of events throughout the year that engage the community in helping us raise much-needed funds for our patients. These fundraisers, plus others organized and hosted by individuals and organizations in the community, help us continue providing the best care for children.

Carlin Prom

Nicklaus Children’s is proud to host the longest-standing prom at a children’s hospital in South Florida. The Carlin Family Nicklaus Children's Hospital Prom began in 2014, thanks to the generosity of Adam and Chanin Carlin. Up to 120 current and recently hospitalized teenage patients attend prom every year. Teens (and their parents) tell us every year that the celebration allowed them to take a break from the health stressors they deal with in their daily life.
