A Night of a Million Thanks

Join us for a night of Gratitude & Gold as we celebrate how far we’ve come and how close we are to reaching our biggest milestone yet. This year, Party 4 Parks is more than a celebration — it’s A Night of a Million Thanks. We’re just $300,000 away from hitting our $1 million goal for the Parks Heckmann Endowment Fund, and with your support, this is the year we make it happen!

Your support makes an impact in the lives of children and their families who depend on Rady Children’s for care. You may not know this, but Rady Children’s is a non-profit organization that relies on support from the community to provide world-class care for nearly 250,000 kids and families each year. 

The Parks Heckmann Endowment supports babies and families in the Rady Children’s NICUs by funding vital neonatology research. It commemorates our deepest gratitude to the team who cared for our son Parks, our daughter River and our entire family. 100% of all donations benefit the Parks Heckmann Endowment Fund and are tax deductible.

If you have questions about the event, please contact Katy Heckmann at (619) 379-6369, katyheckmann@gmail.com. 

Thank you all for your support and generosity.
