Thank you to everyone who has participated in the Make Your Mark Employee Tile Campaign.
The program has been a huge success with 1400 tiles ordered and more than 1100 members of the Rady Children's family participating. Together we have raised more than $200,000 for the new Acute Care Pavilion.
Thank You!
The program is now closed and we will be working on finalizing the orders and working to create and install them into the new building in time for the September 24th Celebration.
We will be communicating with everyone in the coming months about the grand unveiling ceremonies for each floor taking place during the day long celebration. We hope everyone will be able to join us to view their tiles.
