Shriners Hospitals for Children – Los Angeles now for the second year is EcoLuxe Lounge official charity partner! For over 60 years, Shriners Hospitals for Children – Los Angeles has transformed the lives of thousands of children in Southern California and across the Southwest. Construction of the new Shriners for Children Medical Center in Pasadena, California, is nearing an end. With substantial completion of the 75,000 square foot building and expansive courtyard expected in January 2017, the new medical center is filling-out and taking shape. Recent construction-related milestones include activation of permanent power in the building, removal of the construction team's office trailer from the site, and preparation of the area in front of the building for the circular driveway, rose plaza and garden, children's pavilion, and courtyard.
Marius Woodward National and Los Angeles Patient ambassador of Shriners Hospitals for Children will also be there to greet event guests. Marius began treatment at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Los Angeles when he was 8 years old, and underwent many surgeries, including a toe-to-hand transfer. Marius is believed to be the first in the world to have a transfer of this type involving six toes. Today, Marius is an active 17-year old high school student who, despite having only two toes and six new fingers, is able to play football and soccer, and demonstrates that his scars make him who he is and to encourage acceptance, despite outward appearance.
