Young Leaders Circle
Established in 2022, the Young Leaders Circle is a group of young professionals committed to promoting the Foundation in the community.
Each member of the Circle gives their time and expertise to foster the emergence of new generations of donors who share their belief in the power of research.
The Pediatric Research Foundation’s Young Leaders Circle was launched in 2022, on the initiative of Mia Morisset (Inovia Capital). Born out of a desire to engage a new generation of donors and volunteers, the Circle brings together young, committed professionals united by a shared goal: to support philanthropy and innovation in pediatric health. It addresses a growing need for renewal within the philanthropic community by bringing fresh perspectives and fostering intergenerational collaboration. Today, the Circle embodies a collective, dynamic, and impact-driven commitment.
