This year our fundraising efforts will benefit the Rady Children's Hospital Cancer Care Center. Cancer kills more children than any other disease, more than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined.

You have the power to do something about it. With support from private and corporate sponsors in our community we can start putting the pieces of these families' lives back together.

Rady Children's Hospital - San Diego serves the needs of all children in San Diego County and the surrounding areas regardless of their ability to pay. With your help and the help of other leaders in our community, we hope to give even more this year.

There are many ways that people can contribute and all gifts, large and small, are important. Monetary donations are accepted in the form of cash, checks, and credit card (MasterCard, Visa, and American Express). All individual (non-corporate) donations with a value of $10,000 or more earn the donor a membership in the prestigious "Circle of Care" which includes an invitation to the exciting annual conference.

Donations of time as well as money are welcome. For example, philanthropy plays a powerful role in the Hospital's ability to provide programs and services. Community leadership makes a significant and tangible difference to the children of San Diego.

Please remember that a portion of your donation is tax deductible and that each donation will be acknowledged with a thank-you letter and an appropriate receipt. For information on how to make a donation, please contact Michelle Pius at (858) 755-1573.
