A Special Membership Opportunity
The name really says it all: Children’s Circle of Care is a very special group of philanthropists who donate generously to form a circle of support to help the patients and families at Rady Children’s.
Through annual gifts of $10,000 or more, Children’s Circle of Care members support a common mission: To advance the work of pediatric healthcare, research and education to benefit children.
Although Children’s Circle of Care has a presence throughout North America through 24 of the most prestigious children’s hospitals, it is most meaningful to our Rady Children’s members that all gifts remain here and benefit children in San Diego.
Children’s Circle of Care ensures that Rady Children’s is ready to help every child who needs us with the finest in medical services and compassionate care.
For more information on becoming a member, contact Jean Larsen at jlarsen@rchsd.org or 858.966.7584.
North American Leadership Conference
The Children’s Circle of Care North American Leadership Conference showcases the impact of private giving on advancing pediatric medical research and patient care.
While our highest attention must be paid to the children in our hospital and – even wider – to our community, Children’s Circle of Care members can also take pride that the work done here will help children across the nation and around the globe. The 2010 North American Leadership Conference and Gala for 2009 members will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, May 12-14, 2010.
