In the midst of springtime celebrations and graduations, Las Madrinas announced the 37 families and their daughters who will be honored for their service to the Southern California community and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles at the Las Madrinas Ball in December.
The Las Madrinas Debutantes include Skye Annabel Montgomery, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Watson Montgomery (Los Angeles); Margaret Adair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Laugharn Adair (Los Angeles); Anne Elizabeth McRoskey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick James McRoskey (Pacific Palisades); Mary Shea Morrissey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Carroll Morrissey III (Pacific Palisades); Caitlan Boyd Benell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Craig Charles Benell (Pacific Palisades); Erin Colleen Hinds, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Desmond Joseph Hinds, Jr. (Pacific Palisades); Clare Cardenas Hookstratten, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jon Crowley Hookstratten (Los Angeles); Lauren Elizabeth Beaver, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John William Beaver (Pacific Palisades); Jacqueline Alana Beyer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert David Beyer (Los Angeles); Anne Fraser Hartmann Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Hill (Pacific Palisades); and Victoria Kendall Shepherd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colin Paul Shepherd (Los Angeles).
Las Madrinas was established in 1933 as the first affiliate group of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and has been supporting pediatric medicine for 80 years. Donations made in honor of the young women, together with the annual support of Las Madrinas members and friends, have enabled Las Madrinas to complete eight major projects at the hospital since 1988, including seven research endowments and a capital project on the cardiovascular floor.
This year, Las Madrinas is continuing to honor a $5 million pledge for its eighth endowment, the Las Madrinas Pediatric Simulation Research Laboratory Endowment.
