Each year, the CHHS Foundation and our Friends auxiliary continue to advance our mission in raising funds to embrace individuals and families facing life-changing journeys, enhancing quality of life for all. Several signature events are held throughout the year to support our mission and better serve the patients and families we service throughout the Central Valley.

Pam Phillips Memorial Drive-Thru BBQ
The Pam Phillips Memorial Drive-Thru BBQ Fundraiser began in 2016 as a way to raise funds to support Camp Wokini, CHHS youth grief camp for children and teens ages 6-17. Community members Ron and Stacy Ridenour, along with dear friends Pam and Kenny Phillips, were looking for a way to give back to CHHS. Pam and Kenny, who owned a catering business, shared their expertise, and together they came up with putting on a BBQ event. This event both brought together the community while supporting children in our community who have experienced loss and could benefit from grief camp.
After Pam’s passing, the family decided to honor her memory by renaming the event the Pam Phillips Memorial BBQ. Today, the tradition continues, funding Camp Wokini and celebrating Pam’s legacy. You may support this event by becoming a sponsor or purchasing a delicious meal. All proceeds go directly into helping fund Camp Wokini, offering hope and new beginnings.
