We are proud to have Robby Gomez as our 2022 Ambassador, representing and serving as the face of our upcoming CHOC Adventure in the Park event on Saturday, August 27.
Robby was an energetic, kind, and goofy child, born in 2001 with a congenital condition that obstructed his airway. He spent his first several weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit at CHOC where he had surgery to remove his trach, followed by multiple additional surgeries and check-ups with specialists. His parents were devastated when Robby unexpectedly passed away in his sleep just after turning five years old.
"Our desire to honor Robby’s legacy and continue the sense of community that lifted us during our darkest time moved us to action."
Through Team Robby Batman Gomez and later the Robby Gomez Foundation, those who carry Robby's memory and legacy have helped to raise significant funds for CHOC and families in need.

A Message from the Gomez Family
"Robby touched so many lives in five short years and we are beyond grateful for the ability to share him with you and continue to say his name. We share in the pain, grief and hope of many families that have lost a child. At the end of the day, it’s Robby’s spirit that continues to pull together a community to celebrate his life and inspire others to give back to a hospital that helps so many children. CHOC was there for us and we are forever grateful for the five years they gave us with Robby."
