World Eye Cancer Hope USA is excited to invite our retinoblastoma community to our 7th Southern California Rb Family Day!

Angel and 22 of his loving family members surround him at picnic tables, smiling for the camera. They sit under a gazebo and the SoCal sun shines through the trees behind them.

The Espinosa family have been attending Southern California Family Day since its inception in 2018, with their Rb survivor, Angel.

DATE: Saturday, September 27, 2025
TIME: 1:30 to 4:30 pm PDT
LOCATION: Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), 4650 W Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90027

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Retinoblastoma patients, survivors, families, friends and medical professionals are encouraged to join WE C Hope for an afternoon of friendship, community and fun!

Whether your family just recently began their Rb journey or you have been a survivor for years, this is a wonderful and relaxed opportunity to connect with others who have walked a similar path. Friends, family members and caregivers are welcome because we know Rb is a journey that impacts not only the child, but the entire family.

Lunch will be provided, along with plenty of activities and child life programming for the kiddos.

This event is hosted in conjunction with the CHLA Retinoblastoma Service.

Attendees from all geographic areas are welcome, not just Southern California.

If you have any questions, please email Marissa Gonzalez at marissa@wechope.org
