About Cocktails & Cures 

Join Children's Trust for an unforgettable evening of storytelling, connection, and philanthropy in support of pediatric research at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. 

Held at The Assembly in Shadyside, Cocktails & Cures is more than a fundraising event, it's an opportunity to experience the power of discovery through the voices of people making it possible. Throughout the evening, guests will hear inspiring TED-style talks for physician-scientists, patient families, Children's Trust members, and community leaders who are helping shape the future of children's health. 

Enjoy cocktails and hor d'oeuvres while learning how groundbreaking research begins, how it impacts children and families facing life's toughest challenges, and how philanthropy helps accelerate the next breakthrough. Through powerful stories of hope, innovation, and resilience you'll gain a firsthand look at the discoveries happening right here in Pittsburgh and the role you can play in advancing them. 

The evening will also feature unique fundraising opportunities, including a reverse auction and exclusive experiences, all supporting lifesaving pediatric research. 

Because every breakthrough begins with a question, an idea, and someone willing to believe. 

Join the movement. Invest in pediatric research. Help create the next breakthrough for kids and families.
