It is clear that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is a very special place where miracles are made every day. I knew I wanted to give back and do more to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. I am honored to host Rock The Runway which combines my love of fashion and my passion for philanthropy. I know the hard work, creativity and dedication it takes to create your own fashion line, and I’m so proud of Miracle Kid Sasha Bogosian for using her talents as a fashion designer to help kids like her.

Sasha has raised $30,500 to date by selling her one-of-a-kind hand painted denim pieces and she is excited to take her fundraising to a whole new level with the awareness generated from Rock The Runway. Sasha’s goal is to help thousands of kids like her in Los Angeles have access to an art therapy program.
“CHLA is awesome! Everyone there is so nice. Children’s Hospital is always there for me and helps me get stronger! I can’t wait for this runway show. I’m excited for everyone to see my painted denim pieces. It also makes me feel so happy because people will know about art therapy at Children’s Hospital and will maybe want to help too. The money I raise will help more patients feel a lot better! Paris Hilton is a fashion icon and I’m so grateful that she is hosting this very special event”, said 10-year-old Miracle Kid fashion designer Sasha Bogosian.
