This year NorCal was able to raise enough money through sponsorship purchases to allow us to donate 31k to UC Davis Health with funds donated to the Pediactric Cancer and Blood Disorders Support Fund.
This year’s cornhole fundraiser was held on Friday, September 30th and was the largest event we have hosted thus far! We quickly realized we had outgrown our venue used for all prior cornhole fundraisers (our parking lot) and decided to host the event at a nearby sports complex, Mather Sports Complex – North Soccer Field. The many sponsorships allowed for 70 teams and we had about 150 attendees. The entire NorCal branch participated, this included employees from our Fresno and Fremont offices as well as some field employees. The event was a lot of fun, and it was amazing to see everyone come together to support such a great cause.
UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center’s pediatric oncology providers diagnose and treat a wide range of pediatric cancer and blood disorders for children, teens and young adults. Pediatric patients going to UC Davis for cancer treatment have access to leading-edge clinical trials of new therapies rarely offered at community hospitals, a full complement of supportive programs while in treatment, and the region’s only clinic for managing the long-term effects of treatment on survivors of childhood cancers.
As one of only 51 cancer centers in the country to achieve comprehensive designation from the National Cancer Institute, UC Davis is recognized for its advances in cancer research, innovative technologies and personalized treatments based on specific characteristics of cancers.
Donations to the pediatric cancer and blood disorders general support fund will be used to advance efforts to ensure early detection, seamless care and support through a patient’s diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.
Funds raised are donated to the UC Davis Foundation and allocated specifically to the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders General Support Fund.Every donation supports the ongoing work so that patients can have the best hope for a cure.
