The 20th Annual Cheers! for Brenner Children's Hospital will take place Friday, Nov. 15, at the Millennium Center in downtown Winston-Salem.
Organizers are promising an extraordinary evening filled with joy, giving and community spirit. The event is presented by Simply Southern, which has committed to match all funds raised, up to $150,000, amplifying the impact of each dollar donated.
Atrium Health Levine Children’s Brenner Children's Hospital in Winston-Salem, a full-service children’s hospital serving western North Carolina, is the Triad region’s only children’s hospital, pediatric emergency department, Level I children’s surgery center and Level I pediatric trauma center, a distinction it has held since 2011 when it became the first in the state.
Since its inception in 2005, Cheers! has raised over $3 million, with funds helping Brenner Children's Hospital deliver critical services, advance research and ensure that every patient receives exceptional care. Over the years, this beloved event has become a heartfelt tradition, bringing together generous individuals, former patients, families and friends, all united in support of Brenner Children’s Hospital’s mission.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Cheers! will feature an array of activities, including a seated dinner, specialty cocktails and both live and silent auctions. The evening will conclude with an energetic late-night silent disco, providing a unique experience to cap off a memorable night.
