Childrens Hospital Gets $12-Million Gift
The Neil Bogart Memorial Fund has made a promise of $12 million to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles for cancer research, the largest single gift from a foundation that the hospital has received, officials said.
On Monday, the hospital dedicated the Neil Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program, which will get $9 million of the gift over the next six years.
The gift “is a beautiful commitment to us,” said Ken Wildes, a hospital vice president.
The Bogart fund, named for the record executive who died in 1982, has donated $26 million to the hospital in the last 20 years.
