The La Cañada Flintridge Orthopedic Guild attended the recent Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children gala at Sofi Stadium. Mario Lopez hosted the Stand for Kids event with nearly a thousand people in attendance. It was a
celebration of the young patients and a chance to honor the LA Chargers for its contribution for orthopedic care to all children regardless of their ability
to pay. The $500 per person gala included a tour of Sofi Stadium. 

After 113 years of OIC, the big announcement was from the UCLA class of 1949 and 1953 when the Luskin couple donated $50 million on the 50-yard line!
