UV Beads -
UV-beaded bracelets are currently available for purchase at the Mount
Zion Gift Shop. The bracelets turn color when exposed to UV rays to
serve as a reminder to replenish sunscreen. Perfect for children and
all sun worshippers! All proceeds benefit UCSF's Department of Dermatology. |

Friend to Friend Smiles Project
- We help children afflicted with terminal illness such as cancer
or leukemia. The project may grant wishes to any terminally ill child
from ages 2 to 18. Many of the wishes are for trips to theme parks
or a special day with a special someone, perhaps a celebrity or sports
hero, a visit to a fine dining restaurant, or an overnight stay at
a hotel, swimming with dolphins, behind the scene tour of zoos and
aquariums, etc. The child's fondest wishes is only limited by the
child's imagination. Providers will inform eligible parents and children
of the program. Some of this year's granted wishes include a trip
to Alcatraz, tickets to Stomp and The Producers (including backstage
passes), a tour of Skywalker Ranch, and a behind-the-scenes-tour of
the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We hope to expand the program to address
the desires of patients coming from all over Northern California to
undergo treatment here at UCSF's Mount Zion Campus. |
