The PADRE Foundation (Pediatric Adolescent Diabetes Research and Education) plays a critical role in the education and support of children with diabetes and their families.
Each year the PADRE Foundation hosts an annual fashion show as a fundraiser highlighting the children of PADRE performing and modeling in the latest fashions, compliments of Macy’s. The fashion show provides positive psychosocial support for children and their families while raising the funds necessary to support our educational programs.
For the past 25 years, the PADRE Foundation has been dedicated to helping children from birth to age 21 understand and manage their Type 1 diabetes. PADRE serves more than 2,500 families of all backgrounds in Southern California while partnering with CHOC and CHOC at Mission Hospital.
The 22nd Annual PADRE Fashion Show will be held at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa on Saturday, May 21, 2011, in Huntington Beach, California. Our theme, “Defying the Limits,” embodies the hope and support PADRE has provided to children and their families throughout the years.
Help us honor our very much loved, Dr. Susan Clark, Medical Director of Endocrinology at CHOC and PSF Chief of the Endocrinology and Diabetes Division, as she will be receiving the Cathie & John Haretakis Award. For over a decade she has given unselfishly of her time, talent and personal will to help change the lives of countless individuals who have been affected by diabetes. Dr. Susan Clark is the Medical Advisor on the PADRE Board of Directors and has been a vital part in our success.
