Fall Fest 2026
Hosted by Champions for Children's National
On Sunday, September 21, Champions for Children's National hosted Fall Fest, a seasonal celebration at the Children's National Research & Innovation Campus. Guests played carnival games, enjoyed treats from local vendors, assembled care kits for patients, and brushed up on CPR skills – all while raising over $210,000 to elevate care and advance research at Children's National. Check back soon for details on the third annual Fall Fest happening in 2026.
