Humanitarian Reception 2026

Past Event - Thank you for attending . . .

The St. John's Humanitarians held its annual appreciation reception with a magnificent sunset over dinner at the Zachari Dunes Resort at Mandalay Bay in Oxnard on November 5, 2026. On behalf of the Foundation Board, we would like to express our appreciation to Humanitarian members and guests for joining us. 
 
We extend our Congratulations and thanks to Harriet Friedman, on receiving the "Spirit of Philanthropy" Award. Harriet has made an incredible difference through her philanthropic activities in support of the hospitals and this community. A loyal and generous supporter, and grateful patient, who “pays it forward” through volunteer work at St. John's hospitals. We consider Harriet a valuable member of the St. John’s family.
 

Spirit of Philanthropy Award 2026

Humanitarians play a crucial role in the Foundations’ mission to help the hospitals provide high-quality healthcare. Your dedicated support over the years has contributed to raising millions of dollars to fund programs and equipment needs in many areas of the hospitals.
 

This year, the Humanitarians raised $75,000 to help ensure that St. John’s hospitals are equipped to maintain the highest standards of care and further their healing mission.
