Children’s Hospital Auxiliary recently got together for a tea party to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Auxiliary.
Giving back, either through a donation or volunteering your time, to Rady Children’s is a remarkable way to get involved in our community. Each interaction we have with a child or family member can make a lasting impression, leaving them with a renewed sense of hope and reminding them that they are not alone in their journey. By lending our time, talents or treasure, we can help create a nurturing and compassionate environment that fosters healing, growth and resilience. In this issue, you will not only learn about the innovative care we deliver right here at Rady Children’s, but also read an inspiring story about our volunteer of 30 years, Don Bellows. “Grandpa Don” has volunteered 15,000 hours of his time at the Bernardy Center at Rady Children’s. His dedication and selflessness exemplify the impact that volunteers can have on the lives of our young patients and their families. As we continue to face new challenges and uncertainties, the role of donors and volunteers becomes even more vital. Your dedication and commitment to Rady Children’s help bridge gaps in care, complement the efforts of our exceptional medical team and ensure that each child receives the highest standard of support and care. Please join me in thanking our dedicated donors and volunteers, and if you have ever considered supporting Rady Children’s through volunteering or donation, I encourage you to take that step and join us in this incredibly fulfilling journey. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will have a lasting impact on the lives of children and families who need it the most. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and for being an essential part of the Rady Children’s family. Let us continue to spread love, hope and compassion as we work together to make a difference.
