A Taste of Pinellas 2012

About All Children's Hospital

A Taste of Pinellas is an annual benefit for All Children's Hospital, with all proceeds going to the annual All Children's Hospital Telethon. Our Telethon theme - "Celebrate the Miracles" - is a reminder of the work that remains after we have built our brand new All Children's Hospital, with more room for families and for the cutting-edge technology that their children need.
