🎁🎄For more than three decades, our team members have shared the true spirit of the season through our annual Mission Basket program—a heartfelt tradition that provides holiday gifts to families of former patients in need.

What began in 1993 with baskets of food and toys has grown into a a friendly competition to see which department can design the most festive display out of the donated gifts. We’re proud to share that 31 families will enjoy a merrier Christmas this year thanks to our generous and compassionate team members, continuing a legacy that has touched more than 2,300 families since the program began.

It’s more than gifts—it’s hope, love and community. ❤️

Seventeen years ago, Adelaide and Genevieve entered the world under extraordinary circumstances. After an extremely high-risk pregnancy, fetal surgery and months of bed rest, their mom, Elizabeth, delivered two brave little girls at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital.

What followed was a journey of resilience. Adelaide spent two weeks in the NICU and Genevieve, born with a heart defect, spent the first six weeks of her life in the cardiac ICU, each supported by the incredible care teams at St. Joseph’s.

Fast forward to today: these twins celebrated their unique start in life by designing custom shoes for the LPGA golf tournament, The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. Genevieve’s design was worn by golf legend Annika Sörenstam’s husband, Mike, and Adelaide’s design was worn by Annika’s daughter, Ava.👟⛳

💙 Their art tells a story of hope, strength and gratitude. From tiny fighters to talented designers, Adelaide and Genevieve are proof that miracles happen—and that creativity can bloom from even the toughest beginnings.
