Carol Damon-Scherer Interim Senior Vice President and Executive Director Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation 14 National Recognition About Rady Children’s 11 18 21 Annual Report Your Children’s Hospital – Now and in the Future A Message from the Board Chairs E ach year, our Annual Report gives us a chance to reflect about all the ways we have worked to meet the needs of the children in our community. This year, that reflection shines especially brightly. Going above and beyond a strong financial performance (page 16) and success of the most ambitious philanthropic campaign in our history (page 18), 2012 set the stage for a whole new era of growth and innovation. You will discover new programs, the recruitment of nationally renowned physicians, amazing new technology, and research that will be transformative in the lives of children – now and in the future. More than ever, we are committed to raising the bar, seeking new treatments and cures, reaching new communities – all the while concentrating on ensuring that each family, each child, has the best possible care. This is because, when it really comes down to it, this is not just a children’s hospital – it is your children’s hospital. And we are honored to share the 2012 story of Rady Children’s with you today. David F. Hale Chair Rady Children’s Hospital and Health Center Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego William B. Sailer Chair Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation When Every Moment Counts A Message from the CEO W hen we began 2012, we strengthened our dedication to be consistently excellent in service to our local community and selectively distinctive at a national level in our clinical, research and education mission. As you look over this Annual Report, I think you will share my sense of pride in the strides we have taken in accomplishing those goals. In the research lab and at every patient’s bedside, we have taken every opportunity to look for new solutions, take action and make progress. We will not rest because, as many of you know, when your child is hurt or sick, every moment counts. At Rady Children’s, we believe that we have a duty – a covenant with our community – to work smart, think more creatively, and embrace the spirit of innovation that enables us to improve pediatric care. Whether it is about technology, research, or where we open new services – or how we offer one-on-one care to a family in a time of need – we believe that innovation matters in every one of those moments. It is a promise we make to the families we serve, and we intend to ensure it remains our call to action. Thank you for joining us in answering that call. With Warmest Regards, Kathleen A.

Young Civic Leader Anne Zouvas Civic Leader Honorary Trustees Jean E. Hahn Hardy Civic Leader and Philanthropist Paul D. Harter Philanthropist Joyce F. Klein Philanthropist Joan Waitt Philanthropist Rady Children’s Magazine 3 2012 2012 at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego R ady Children’s unwavering commitment to put the needs of children first has driven us to create a truly unique healing experience – one in which the benefits of sophisticated research are realized in a pioneering, family-centered healing environment. Our patients receive the medical advances of a nationally renowned health center with the care and compassion from a home-town hospital. We are your children’s hospital. This innovative combination of energy and empathy provide our children and families with excellence in care and our physicians the opportunity to seek new breakthroughs and realize them at the bedside. This Report shows you some of the innovations we have celebrated during the last year. And, most importantly, what that pioneering spirit means to the children and families in our care. Our patients inspire us every day with their strength and courage – and their ability to find a smile. Little Anastasie Sagirah Abboud was just 4 years old when she suffered a life-threatening head injury. In her time at the Hospital, Tasie was cared for by five departments: Critical Care Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology, Ophthalmology and Cardiology. But Tasie was not the only one receiving help. Her mom, Alexandra, explains: “If there's a theme to our experience at Rady Children’s, it is one in which the needs of the whole family were met in subtle but tangible ways. Once we knew she would survive, the uncertainty of whether Tasie would be the same child we knew and loved before the accident was the great unspeakable monster in the room. It was watching her interact with her siblings while in the craft room or listening to a musician sing a tune to the whole family that we caught glimpses of the old Tasie, our Tasie, re-emerge from the little body that only two weeks before appeared alarmingly vacant. “We will be forever grateful to the care, both past and ongoing, that Rady Children’s provides all our children.” 4 Rady Children’s Magazine Annual Report Patrick Ivison is a true ambassador for Rady Children’s.

Rady Children’s Magazine 5 2012 New Programs and Services N o other children’s hospital in California sees as many patients as Rady Children’s. That variety and volume help us stay sharp in every specialty and subspecialty. It also allows us to be an engine of discovery, creating imaginative new breakthroughs and getting them to the bedside more quickly. Ultimately, that means we are able to welcome more children and families, from the San Diego region and beyond, through new and existing programs. There is a common thread in all of these innovations and achievements – an unwavering commitment to the children and families we serve every day. Neuro NICU The new Neuro NICU is focused on treating infants with neurological issues in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the new Acute Care Pavilion. Rady Children’s will be one of fewer than 10 NICUs in the country with this service and the only one in Southern California. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Services (CAPS) Rady Children’s assumed operational responsibility for CAPS from UC San Diego in July; it moved to the main Hospital campus in late February. CAPS is an acute care, 24-hour, seven-day-per-week facility focusing on crisis intervention, mental health assessments and treatment of a wide array of mental health diagnoses. Rady Children’s NICU in Murrieta Just last November, an agreement between Rady Children’s and Southwest Healthcare System opened the door for us to provide neonatal care and expertise to the families of southwest Riverside County at Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta. Rady Children’s at Rancho Springs Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is an 11-bed unit outfitted with advanced instrumentation and the latest technology to observe, monitor, stabilize or resuscitate seriously ill newborns. Babies born at Rancho Springs and in need of specialized care will now be able to stay close to their families. The NICU joins Rady Children’s other outpatient services in Murrieta, bringing the Rady Children’s experience and quality of care to Riverside. 6 Rady Children’s Magazine Annual Report Motility and Mobility Program Under the leadership of internationally renowned Dr. Neel Tipnis, the Move It Center is one of the first programs in California to find specialized solutions for patients with a variety of disorders, including gastrointestinal issues, such as chronic pain and feeding intolerance. Until now, patients had to travel either to the Midwest or the East Coast to receive treatment for these conditions that could not be addressed by a general gastroenterologist. Medical West San Diego’s first inpatient program for the treatment of eating disorders in children and adolescents, Medical West emphasizes the importance of family involvement in recovery. The program’s unique approach and better outcomes are already attracting families from across the country and around the world. 360 Sports Medicine From little-league to college-level play, the new 360 Sports Medicine program is dedicated to keeping young athletes in the game. It is the only program serving San Diego and Imperial counties to provide 360 degrees of care – from preventing and treating injuries to helping improve the performance of young athletes. Comprehensive, state-of-the-art care is provided by a multidisciplinary team, including sports medicine specialists, concussion specialists, physical therapists, nutritionists and certified athletic trainers. Our team works closely with young athletes' primary care physicians, other specialists, parents and coaches to help them make a safe and rapid return to sports and activities. Outpatient Procedure Center (OPC) With the new Warren Family Surgical Center open in the new Acute Care Pavilion, our former surgical suites have been redesigned to create this important new area. The OPC provides services for procedures that may require anesthesia or sedation but do not require a traditional operating room setting. Learn more! See the complete list of programs– and learn more about the new services shown here – at www.rchsd.org. Rady Children’s Magazine 7 2012 Physicians When you ask families why Rady Children’s doctors are so special, it is a pretty simple answer: “They listen.” For parents, this means that they form a trusting collaboration, feeling the confidence of knowing that they have placed their child in expert hands. In the world of pediatric medicine, we are proud that our physicians also have something important to say. Nationally and internationally renowned for their research discoveries and patient outcomes, Rady Children’s doctors are sought out as speakers, teachers and authors. Two of our new physicians in 2012: Dr. Bema Bonsu Emergency Medicine Division Chief Dr. Bonsu is dedicated to implementing new initiatives to improve access and reduce wait times in the Sam S. and Rose Stein Emergency Care Center. “I want patients to know that we are fully committed to providing the sort of experience that they would expect in the first-class place that Rady Children’s is.” Dr. Eric Devaney Division of Cardiovascular Surgery Dr. Devaney will lead Rady Children’s new heart transplant program. “Hiring a surgeon of Dr. Devaney’s caliber is a game-changer for the cardiovascular surgery program at Rady Children’s,” says Dr. John J. Lamberti, the Eugene and Joyce Klein Director in Cardiovascular Surgery at Rady Children’s. “Providing heart transplants here in San Diego will relieve the tremendous burden that is placed on families who, until now, had no choice but to travel long distances for care.” More National Honors In 2012, Dr. John Bradley, Infectious Disease Specialist at Rady Children's, became one of seven experts from outside the federal government who will join the National Biodefense Science Board, a federal advisory committee which provides expert advice and guidance on preventing, preparing for, and responding to adverse health effects of public health emergencies. 8 Rady Children’s Magazine Learn more!

Rady Children’s Magazine 9 2012 Research and Technology R ady Children’s is dedicated to discovering treatments and cures for childhood diseases through cutting-edge research and the development of new technologies. Our physician-scientists conduct clinical trials on the most promising treatments and one day hope to sequence the DNA of every child who comes to us for care. Through this research, we will have a better understanding of the causes of disease and the role of genetics and the environment. And the more we know about disease, the better we can treat it. There are more than 170 clinical trials and 260 research projects underway at Rady Children’s in affiliation with UC San Diego School of Medicine. New technology and equipment is being evaluated every day. Here is a sample of recent work: Toshiba Catheterization Laboratory System Rady Children’s Cardiology program continues to expand and improve its services, recently installing a new Toshiba Catheterization Laboratory system featuring better image quality and superior radiation safety. “We can do everything with it that can be done anywhere in the world,” says Dr. John Moore, Cardiology Division Chief and Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at UC San Diego. “As practitioners, there’s nothing better than being at a top-notch facility. We’re very strong advocates for our patients, and we feel like this has helped us provide better patient care.” Autism Research Dr. Joseph Gleeson and researchers at UC San Diego have identified a rare, hereditary form of autism that may be treatable with nutritional supplements. The scientists sequenced the genomes of six children with both autism and epilepsy from three families — in each case, the children’s parents were first cousins — and found that they had mutations in a gene that normally prevents the breakdown of certain amino acids. “This might represent the first treatable form of autism,” says Dr. Gleeson, “That is both heartening to families with autism, and also I think revealing of the underlying mechanisms of autism.” Dr. Gleeson is also a part of a team studying gene mutations that may cause massive brain asymmetry, a condition frequently diagnosed in children with severe epilepsy. This work could help lead to the prevention of radical surgeries by treating the condition with drug therapies. 10 Rady Children’s Magazine Think of it as a social technology! Facebook and Twitter continue to grow as sources for information for our patient families. Rady Children’s has more than 13,700 followers on Facebook at www.facebook.com/radychildrens and nearly 3,000 Twitters followers, all of whom benefit from regular news updates and inspiring stories. Annual Report SimBaby The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Rady Children’s is among the first children’s hospitals in the nation to purchase a “SimBaby,” an amazingly realistic doll that breathes, cries, gurgles and can even turn blue. The technologically advanced doll can simulate a variety of medical emergencies, including breathing difficulties and heart problems. Huntington ’s Disease UC San Diego School of Medicine and Rady Children's have identified two key regulatory proteins critical to clearing away misfolded proteins that accumulate and cause the progressive, deadly neurodegeneration of Huntington’s disease (HD). The findings explain a fundamental aspect of how HD wreaks havoc within cells and provides “clear, therapeutic opportunities,” says principal investigator Dr. Albert R. La Spada. “We think the implications are significant. It’s a lead we can vigorously pursue, not just for Huntington’s disease, but also for similar neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease and maybe even Alzheimer’s disease.” Proton Therapy Scripps Health and Rady Children’s are teaming up to provide advanced proton treatment to pediatric cancer patients who need this highly accurate form of therapy for brain tumors. Proton beams allow for significant sparing of normal tissue compared to X-ray therapy; their use has been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of long-term complications in children. Epic Electronic Medical Records Rady Children’s has revolutionized the way we deliver health care by implementing the technology and solutions offered by Epic systems. Electronic medical records are now available anytime, anywhere on devices like tablets and smartphones. Every child has one medical record number that stays constant – whether they are being seen at their pediatrician’s office or in an emergency room. Families can now make online appointments, access their child’s medical records and communicate Learn more! You’ll have instant with doctors through email. Barcode scanning has replaced handwritten medical access to new discoveries at Rady ordering, eliminating potential for error. Children’s when you click on Latest News at www.rchsd.org. Rady Children’s Magazine 11 2012 Community Outreach Because Rady Children’s is the region’s only hospital solely dedicated to children, our community means everything to us. We strive to demonstrate our commitment to our community every day – not just by offering more medical services in more areas (see page 6) or ensuring care to every child who needs it regardless of the family’s ability to pay (see page 16) – but also by seeking ways to provide education and support to families. www.rchsd.org Our website gives you instant access to health tips, symptom checkers, Ask Your Nurse videos and more. You will find Community Programs there, too, and access to My Chart to keep you connected to your child’s health online, anytime. Learn more!

Our volunteers contributed 45,810 hours this past year. That is the equivalent of a $1,107,686 gift to Rady Children’s. In 2012, Volunteer Services added yoga volunteers who teach classes for young cancer patients at our Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Healing Touch volunteers also offer their services throughout the Hospital. The Chadwick Center for Children & Families The Chadwick Center perfectly demonstrates Rady Children’s dedication to being both a “home-town hospital” and an internationally renowned pediatric medical center. One of the Center’s many accomplishments in 2012 was providing trauma counseling for more than 1,500 children and parents involved in child abuse, domestic violence or other forms of trauma. Each counseling session is delivered with personalized compassionate care while being supported by proven research-based therapies. On a broader scale, each January the Center hosts the San Diego International Conference on Child and Family Maltreatment, attracting more than 2,000 professionals from around the world. This is the largest international event focused on the topic of on child abuse. 12 Rady Children’s Magazine Annual Report Center for Healthier Communities (CHC) Rady Children’s CHC partners with organizations throughout San Diego to facilitate wellness and advocacy programs. Its goal? To keep children from ever needing medical services at Rady Children’s! CHC’s 2012 success stories include: • Expansion of the FACES for the Future program to 72 Hoover High School students, providing hands-on experience and education about healthcare professions. The 15 graduating seniors in 2012 all plan on continuing their education. • The Partnership for Smoke-Free Families received the San Diego County Health and Human Services Department’s Public Health Champion Award for facilitating a steady decrease in the percentage of pregnant women in the county who smoked at some point during their first trimester. • The Child Passenger Safety Program, sponsored by Kohl’s, inspected nearly 800 car seats and expanded community efforts to schools, public health forums and health fairs. Rethink Your Drink Rethink Your Drink is an important initiative for both Rady Children’s employees and our patient families, designed to educate everyone making healthier drink choices. “Green” drinks, such as water, 1% milk and unsweetened herbal teas, are always the best choice for kids. One sugar-sweetened soda a day? That is 40 pounds of sugar a year, enough to fill this wheelbarrow! Rady Children’s Magazine 13 2012 National Recognition U.S. News & World Report Honors 10 for 10 – Again! We are pleased to report that U.S. News & World Report has once again ranked Rady Children’s among the top children’s hospitals in the nation in all 10 pediatric specialties it surveyed. With more than 200 hospitals in the United States, these rankings place Rady Children’s among the nation’s elite. Orthopedics: #2 Pulmonology: #22 This is the highest ranking ever for Rady Children’s. Orthopedics’ overall score was 99.2 out of 100 – that’s only eight-tenths of a percent less than the number one ranked hospital. More than 50 percent of orthopedic specialists surveyed named Rady Children’s as one of the best. Our Pulmonology division was the only one in the country to achieve a perfect score for success in minimizing bloodstream, ventilator associated pneumonia, and other infections in pediatric ICU patients. Urology: #9 Neurology and Neurosurgery: #27 Urology moved up four rankings from last year – breaking into the top 10 for the first time and scoring among the top four ranked hospitals in Urology for “success in preventing surgical complications.” Moving up 10 places from last year’s rankings, Neurology and Neurosurgery achieved the highest possible score in two categories: 1) survival following surgery for disorders or procedures including brain tumors, medically-untreatable epilepsy and head trauma and 2) success in treating infants and children with epilepsy. Nephrology: #17 Cardiology: #28 Nephrology made the biggest jump of all 10 specialties ranked – moving up 12 places from last year’s ranking. The specialty achieved the highest possible score for percentage of patients without complications following a kidney biopsy procedure. Improving its rankings by two places over last year, Cardiology was ranked among the top six hospitals in the nation for survival following moderately complex to extremely difficult heart surgery in the past two years. Diabetes and Endocrinology: #20 Gastroenterology: #30 Diabetes and Endocrinology outscored the top-ranked hospital (Children’s Philadelphia) for success in preventing serious problems in children with Type 1 diabetes and keeping blood levels in check. Gastroenterology moved up one spot from last year’s rankings, receiving a score of “Superior” for Overall Infection Prevention and for success in minimizing bloodstream infections. Neonatology: #21 Cancer: #37 In nurse-patient ratio, Neonatology ranked #1, outscoring every other children’s hospital in the survey. It also achieved the highest score possible for the number and variety of Advanced Clinical Services available. Our Cancer program received a higher than average score for survival of patients receiving stem cell transplants at 100 days following a bone marrow transplant and received a ranking of “Superior” for success in minimizing bloodstream infections. 14 Rady Children’s Magazine Annual Report The Bernardy Center: More Honors from U.S. News & World Report For the fourth consecutive year, the Helen Bernardy Center for Medically Fragile Children at Rady Children’s was named to the Honor Roll in U.S News & World Report’s annual Best Nursing Homes. Our Center was one of 39 nursing homes with perfect performance ratings. With 15,500 facilities nationwide, the honor places the Bernardy Center among the nation’s elite. This year, the Center also moved into its new home in the Nelson Pavilion at the Hospital. The beautifully redesigned spaces offer more amenities for these very special patients and their families. Most Wired In 2012, Rady Children’s was recognized as one of the nation’s “Most Wired,” according to the results of the 2012 Most Wired Survey released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. This is in recognition of Rady Children’s commitment to focus on expanding and adopting IT that protects patient data and optimizes patient flow and communications. Peak Award In demonstration of Rady Children’s commitment to being the healthcare Employer of Choice in San Diego, the Patient Access Trainers received the 2012 PEAK Award from the San Diego chapter of the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD). ASTD San Diego honors organizations that exemplify Performance Excellence and Applied Knowledge. The team created easily accessed eLearning courses to help our Patient Access Representatives properly register patients, reducing denied insurance claims and potentially preventing an annual loss of $8 million. The courses include interactive online learning with system demonstrations, “test your knowledge questions” and a final exam. Rady Children’s Magazine 15 2012 2012 Financial Report Financial Responsibility Rady Children’s is dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality pediatric healthcare to our community by investing in patient care programs, cutting-edge equipment and technology and modernizing and expanding facilities. Operating income of $85.4 million for fiscal year 2012 was an all-time record high, with $49.4 million attributable to the provider fee program. Total operating revenue and expenses increased by approximately 5.5 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively, in 2012. Although the volumes in 2012 were unexpectedly lower at the start of the fiscal year, stringent expense management measures positively impacted operating results. Rady Children’s continues to maintain a strong credit rating and capital position, and completed a $100 million debt offering in November 2011. Additionally, due to Rady Children’s ongoing investment in Epic electronic medical record software, the Hospital and many physicians qualified for government electronic health record incentive payments, of which Rady Children’s received $6.5 million in 2012.

Rady Children’s Magazine 17 2012 Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation Financial Overview It feels great to know you are helping children. But that is not the only reason to support Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. Rady Children’s is a non-profit, free-standing hospital; more than 56 percent of the patients we see have little or no private medical insurance. These kids depend on us, and we will always put their needs first. But our commitment extends far beyond that basic need. We are dedicated to excellence in care – the latest technology, the best equipment, the most progressive research and the finest teaching – because that is the right thing to do for every child. We offer programs and services that will never be reimbursed by insurance, simply because our families deserve the best. Your support ensures that Rady Children's exceeds expectations and touches the lives of children and families far into the future.. !" #$% &'( The Campaign for Rady Children’s surpasses goal! F or Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation, the most important accomplishment of 2012 was the successful completion of The Campaign for Rady Children’s. Thanks to an extraordinary outpouring of giving from every corner of San Diego, Rady Children’s announced in July that this ambitious effort to raise $220 million to care for the sick and injured children of San Diego by December 2012, had reached its goal six months early. Through the Campaign, Rady Children’s was able to complete our Acute Care Pavilion, home to the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, the Warren Family Surgical Center, the Viterbi Outpatient Clinic and Carley's Magical Gardens. The Campaign also supported Rady Children’s efforts to provide the most comprehensive care and advanced technology, and support discovery through research and teaching. Over the course of the Campaign, we received more than 5.2 million gifts, from $1 to $60 million, demonstrating the wide range of support we have from a huge cross section of our community. Our community was so giving that the Foundation established a stretch goal to raise an additional $5 million by December 31, 2012. We are proud to announce our final total for the Campaign for Rady Children’s is $229,034,143 – the largest fundraising campaign in the history of Rady Children’s.

Finally, at a 4-month checkup, an X-ray showed a loop of intestine in front of Bennett’s heart. The family immediately headed to Rady Children’s, where pediatric surgeon Dr. Timothy Fairbanks determined that Bennett had been born with a hole in his diaphragm. Dr. Fairbanks performed delicate laparoscopic surgery to move the intestine back into place and repair the tiny diaphragm. Three days later, Bennett was home and on his way to a full recovery. “It was a remarkable surgery,” says Dr. David Lee, Bennett’s grandfather and a retired physician. ”It was apparent that had it been left another week or two this could have been life-threatening. We were enormously grateful, not just to the doctor but to the nurses and support staff for the care Bennett received.” The family has expressed its appreciation with a $50,000 gift to the Hope and Healing Fund, dedicated to Rady Children’s highest and most urgent needs. More than half of children treated at Rady Children’s have little or no private health insurance, and the fund provides for their care during serious illness or injury. The family wanted to help others facing a similar emergency but without the resources to take care of it. The gift comes from grandparents Dr. and Mrs. David and Sandra Lee and Karen and Daniel Hernandez, as well as parents Kimberly and Benjamin Lee. “Bennett is now just over a year old, and he’s a happy, healthy, delightful little boy,” Dr. Lee says. “We couldn’t be happier.” Mr. and Mrs. Scott Kahn John W.

Hartsock Annual Report GIFTS THAT INSPIRE Keeping Children Safe Daniel Jacobson D aniel and Martha Addalee Jacobson loved children, although they were unable to have their own. When Addalee died in 2000, Dan decided to honor her memory with a celebration tile installed at Rady Children’s. He also became a Legacy Circle member, making the Hospital the sole beneficiary of his $2 million estate. Supervising fire safety projects at Navy and Air Force installations, his top secret clearance allowed him to work on programs such as the Minuteman ballistic missile system and the global network of military satellite facilities. As a consultant, he helped create a landmark guide in earthquake disaster response. The decision was characteristic of Dan, who devoted much of his own life to safeguarding the lives of others. A Chicago native, in 1942 he became a commissioned officer in the Naval Reserve, serving in the Pacific during World War II. Following a distinguished 35-year career in the Reserve as a professional engineer in fire protection and loss prevention, Dan worked as a fire safety consultant. In 2001, Dan wrote a Hospital administrator about his gift to Rady Children’s. He and Addalee first met in Chicago but fell in love after meeting again in San Diego in 1945. They soon married and made San Diego home, although Dan’s work often took him away. “I firmly believe that Children’s Hospital is performing a very significant service in improving healthcare in our society,” he wrote, “and I feel privileged to take part in your endeavors.” Dan died in December, 2011. Through his generosity, his contribution to children’s health lives on. **Virginia M. and Donald R.

Sullivan Rady Children’s Magazine 23 2012 Corporate Support Some San Diego businesses have always had a heart for children – and for Rady Children’s. And for good reason. Companies find that supporting Rady Children’s increases employee morale, enriches business opportunities and strengthens community awareness. Community Involvement Individuals, families, clubs and community groups can all enjoy the good feeling of making a difference in the life of a child. Projects that help Rady Children’s bring everyone closer together, joined in a new spirit of philanthropy that makes everyone feel good!

Form a walk team for the Shamu & You Family Walk. Hold a toy drive. By raising at least $500 a year for Rady Children’s, companies and community groups become a part of our Miracle Makers Program, and those contributing $5,000 or more annually are honored as members of our Miracle Makers Council (see pages 25-26). For more information about how you can become a Miracle Maker, call 858-966-5988. 2012 Miracle Maker Honorees Outstanding Corporate Miracle Maker: Cricket Communications Most Creative Miracle Maker: Sharla and Michael Hank Since 2009, Cricket Communications has donated nearly $1.4 million to Rady Children’s through their annual charity golf tournament. Funds from these tournaments have benefited, among others, the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Developmental Services, the Orthopedic Department. Going above and beyond in another way, Cricket Communications has introduced new donors to the Hospital and helped them in their fundraising efforts. Sharla and Michael Hank help celebrate World Down Syndrome Day in March by hosting an indoor rock climbing fundraising event called “Climbing to New Heights for Down Syndrome.” And they reach new heights in other creative ways, too, hosting the “Merry All Comedy Ball,” a charity comedy show and “A Ride of Inspiration,” a charity motorcycle ride/poker run. All told, the Hanks have raised more than $140,000 for the Down Syndrome Center at Rady Children's. Outstanding Community Miracle Maker: The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation Junior Miracle Maker: Patrick Ivison Sycuan has supported the Hospital for more than 20 years, donated more than $550,000 to support the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and the Regional Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Drive fund. In true community spirit, Sycuan has also been a wonderful supporter of the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary (pages 28-29), donating venue space and auction items. 24 Rady Children’s Magazine Patrick Ivison began his relationship with Rady Children’s as a patient. Now, he is an avid supporter of Rady Children’s, lending time to events such as AJ’s Crane, donor and staff meetings, Radiothon, and fundraising events. He also chooses to spend his own time visiting patients at the Hospital that are being treated for injuries similar to his own. Patrick exemplifies the importance of being a young leader and reminds us all that no matter the size of the task, big or small, it can always be accomplished with perseverance.

Ever since, this dedicated group of volunteers has strived to help Rady Children’s meet each new challenge. Today, more than 1,200 volunteers continue to support Rady Children’s through fundraising efforts, advocacy and education. How You Can Get Involved There are three fun and satisfying ways to support the Auxiliary: Celebrate! Make a gift to the Honoring, Remembrance and Celebration Fund to express gratitude or commemorate those people who have touched and enriched our lives. Those being honored will have their names beautifully handwritten in the Book of Honoring or Book of Remembrance, displayed in Rady Children’s Rose Pavilion. Celebration Tiles are tribute gifts that are also available for contributions totaling $5,000 or more. These 8” x 8” tiles are designed by the donor and displayed in the Rose Pavilion for patients and their families to see every day. Attend! Auxiliary Units hold many events throughout the year in addition to Kids’ NewsDay and Fantasy on Ice (see page 31). Go to www.radychildrensaux.org to view the event calendar. Join! The one thing that all members of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary share is a sincere desire to help ensure the health and well-being of the children in our community. Our members are committed to supporting a worthy cause – and having fun doing it. The Auxiliary welcomes your involvement. If you would like to join this talented and dedicated group, please call 858-966-5887 or visit our website at www.radychildrensaux.org. 30 Rady Children’s Magazine Rady Children's Hospital Auxiliary Mission Statement "To work in partnership with Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and to support its mission through: advocating for the health and wellbeing of children, increasing community awareness of Rady Children's Hospital, and fundraising."
