Skirball Cultural Center
For more than 100 years, Children’s Institute has supported children and families across Los Angeles with the resources they need to achieve emotional well-being and educational success, which build pathways to economic mobility and lifelong health. As our families build their capacity to create legacies of healing and growth, we want to support you in building your own legacy of social impact. Children’s Institute invites you to celebrate superheroes making an impact in the lives of children and families. This year, we are honoring four incredible people whose unique paths have converged to support and advocate for CII’s mission and
our Los Angeles communities: Tim Disney, Erin Westerman, DC Emada Tingirides, and Phillip Tingirides.
