The Jonathan Brown Foundation is pleased to once again host “Jonny’s Gold Ribbon Gala” at the Hamilton Convention Centre on November 9th, 2024. This year, our gala is in support of pediatric palliative care and the new Keaton’s House Paul Paletta Children’s Hospice.

Funds raised at the gala will help build a dedicated teen room, specifically designed for the needs and preferences of teenagers . This pediatric age group has unique developmental, emotional, and social needs that differ from those of younger children and older adults. A dedicated space can offer age-appropriate amenities and activities, such as gaming consoles, music, quiet space and comfortable seating areas, to help patients feel more at ease and engaged during their stay. Teenagers are often the “forgotten” pediatric age group and the Jonathan Brown Foundation is working with Keaton’s House to ensure their needs are recognized.

Jonny would approve!
