Washington Life's Philanthropic 50

Children's National Medical Center is grateful to be supported by some of the region's most generous philanthropists, as identified by Washington Life magazine:

Bret and Amy Baier

The FOX 5 "Special Report" anchor and his wife along with her parents Paul and Barbara Hills, donated $1 million to Children’s National Medical Center where the Baier's son Paul underwent several open heart surgeries and angioplasties. The donation led to the opening of the Paul Francis Baier Comprehensive Media Room which allows critical care staff to have access and review diagnostic images and tests in one place.

Steve and Diana Goldberg

Longtime supporters of the Children's National Medical Center, the couple made philanthropic headlines in 2008 when their giving to the Center surpassed $50 million. Longtime supporters of children's and health causes, they also give generously to the Children's Law Center, The American Red Cross, Washington AIDS Partnership, B’Nai Israel, and the Wiezmann Institute of Science.

James A. MacCutcheon

Serving as director of Comstock Homebuilding Companies Inc. since 2004 and President and CEO of Sunburst Hospitality Corporation since 2000, MacCutheon, who resides in Virginia, has amassed a small fortune which he has been quietly giving away to health causes. He sits on the board of the Children's Hospital Foundation, and last year made a seven-figure donation to Children's National Medical Center. His family's foundation, The MacCutcheon Family Foundation, sponsored this year’s Leukemia Ball.

Joe Roberts Jr.

Currently fighting his own battle with cancer, Roberts has long supported causes that benefit children's health care and education. His organization Fight for Children has raised more than $105 million to support more than 150 youth-oriented organizations in the area. In a cause close to his heart, Roberts was chairman of the $300-million Comprehensive Campaign at Children's National Medical Center which led to the Joseph E. Robert Jr. Center for Surgical Care at the center. To help see it through, he gave a personal gift of $25 million and was a driving force in the $150 million gift from the government of Abu Dhabi to create the Sheikh Zayed Insitute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation. Recently, Robert said au revoir to his locks and raised $100,000 for the first Be Brave & Shave event benefiting the cancer programs at Children's.
