Highlights
For highlights of 2012, read on our Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA Year in Review. In this update, you will read about our new hospitalist program, the next generation of faculty leaders, and the inspiring philanthropy of donors of all ages.
Lemonade Stand benefits pediatric patients
Four local girls -- Yasmin, 9, Camille, 6, Jacqueline, 9, and Alexandra, 7-- sold lemonade, cookies, and water during their winter break from school to raise money for Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and City of Hope. Their efforts netted $400.
According to Yasmin's and Camille's mom, Sharona Shenassa, it all started when her daughters wanted to do something to thank Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center for the excellent care provided to their sick grandfather. Sharona stated, "The girls were very specific that they wanted the proceeds to go to Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, located in the medical center and we are inspired and hope to raise more for many years to come!"
THANK YOU to Yasmin, Camille, Jacqueline, and Alexandra for sharing this amazing story and for demonstrating such generosity!
