ESPN's Laura Rutledge to Co-Host Connecticut Children's Foundation Gala Alongside Young Patient Who Inspires Her
HARTFORD, Conn. (November 10, 2026) - Emmy-winning host/reporter Laura Rutledge of ESPN has covered some of the biggest events in sports. But on November 14, she'll take the stage for a special event much closer to her heart.
Rutledge will co-host the 2026 Connecticut Children's Foundation Gala alongside Daniela, a young Connecticut Children's patient who has spent nearly her entire life receiving treatment for a rare blood disorder. Together, they'll help lead an unforgettable evening celebrating courage, hope and what becomes possible when a community goes "100% In" for kids.
For Rutledge, the evening is deeply personal.
