A Letter from our Executive Director

If you’re reading this, then I know you have a heart for children. I know that you have found the time to learn more about how you can help. I know philanthropy and volunteering play a role in your life. 

As you explore the many ways Rady Children’s helps children – and the many ways you can support Rady Children’s – please know that our team at the Foundation is ready to support you in any possible way.

We, too, have a heart for children. And we know that it is by working together that we can make a real difference to the patients and families at Rady Children’s. Every gift, whether it’s of time or money, makes a difference. And on behalf of the children and patients we serve, I thank you.

      Sincerely,

      David B. Gillig
      Senior Vice President and Executive Director
      Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation
