Celebrating the generous partners and dedicated leaders making an evening of impact possible.
Thank you to our Chairs and Committee for their leadership and support in bringing this event to life:
Honorary Chairs
Donna Brown, MD I Linda Norman, DSN
Meet This Year's Treasures in Paradise Co-Chairs
Patrick and Rachel Duke have demonstrated a deep commitment to World Pediatrics through Patrick’s longtime Chapter Board leadership, including serving as Chair, Rachel’s generous Presenting Sponsor support of past Treasures, and their recent mission trip to San Pedro Sula, where they experienced the impact of World Pediatrics firsthand.
Bridgette and Ted Gottwald have a longstanding connection to World Pediatrics, from their significant involvement with Rock ’N’ Heal in St. Louis to carrying forward the Gottwald family’s enduring legacy of leadership and generosity.
"Ted and I are so excited to serve as Co-Chairs of this year’s Treasures because we have seen the power of people coming together, and, most importantly, we have seen the impact this work has on children’s lives. "
Alex and Whit Huffman have been dedicated World Pediatrics supporters, including serving as Co-Chairs of Rock ’N’ Heal in 2019. Alex continues that commitment today through active service on the Richmond Chapter Board, helping engage and inspire the next generation of supporters.
