The annual Doernbecher Freestyle auction, featuring custom Nike shoes designed by six pediatric patients, raised a record-breaking $2.4 million to support OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, including patient care, research initiatives and plans for an expanded neonatal and maternal-child services. Dana Braner, M.D., says, “A founding principle of Doernbecher was that it would be a lifesaving resource for kids and their families, regardless of their ability to pay.
