All Michigan Medicine faculty and staff are invited to the fifth annual CHAMPS for Mott fundraiser! The event — which is a culinary gala with mouthwatering fare hosted inside the Delta Air Lines hangar at Detroit Metro Airport — will be held on Sept. 29 and benefit C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.

The gala will once again be hosted by celebrity chef and actor David Burtka, best known for hosting “Celebrity Dish” on the Cooking Channel and for his role in “How I Met Your Mother.”

Proceeds will support the creation of a hybrid operating room at Mott. The new OR will combine the latest MRI and catheterization technologies with open surgery to provide safer, more complete care for the young patients who need it most.
