Help a family in need

For the past 17 holiday seasons, the UCLA Health System Auxiliary has coordinated the Adopt-a-Family Program, supporting hundreds of families who are experiencing extraordinary challenges. The program provides support for basic needs as well as holiday gifts and meals for selected families of patients at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and the Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital.

You can be part of this great program by "adopting" a family for whom you shop and deliver, or by making a cash contribution and letting the Auxiliary take care of the rest. E-mail Rachel Dourec to sign up.  The deadline for matching sponsors with families is Friday, November 20.

 

Tax-deductible cash donations can be made through December 20. Contributions by check can also made out to the UCLA Medical Center Auxiliary / Adopt-A-Family 2009 and mailed to the Auxiliary at 10833 Le Conte Ave., Los Angeles CA 90095-1761.
