$42M Campaign For Children's
Children’s Hospital recently celebrated a milestone in the construction of the Paramount Farms Plaza expansion and kicked off the new $42 million Campaign for Children’s.
Bill and Linda Smittcamp, co-chairs of the Campaign for Children’s, talked about their own moving experiences at Children’s Hospital following their son’s near-fatal accident. Both are active with the hospital in addition to their roles as co-chairs, Bill as a trustee and Linda as a Guild member. They reminded attendees how important Children’s Hospital was to them as a family, and how important it is to every family in Central California.
The Campaign for Children’s is a comprehensive $42 million initiative to help build upon Children’s rich history of success. Children’s Hospital Central California is already one of the largest hospitals of its type in the nation, consistently ranking at the top of national benchmarks for outcomes, excellence in nursing, and patient satisfaction.
Paramount Farms Plaza, the new 60,000 square foot expansion of Children’s Emergency Department and Trauma Program, will allow the hospital to grow emergency, imaging, surgical suites, critical care and other programs to match the deepening need of the region’s ill and injured kids. The Campaign for Children’s is vital to provide the needed equipment, services, and unrestricted funds that can be applied where the need is greatest
The Campaign for Children’s will also provide Children’s with the support of endowments that will provide a constant source of funding for The Guilds of Children’s Hospital Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Endowment, the Willson Heart Center, and the Endowment for Excellence. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to help Children’s Hospital meet its vision to be the premiere pediatric medical center in the heart of the Golden State.
Major investors have already stepped forward to form the base for the campaign. They and their commitments include: The Guilds of Children’s Hospital ($5M); Paramount Farms ($4M); the Ruiz Family and Ruiz Foods ($1M); Margaret Bennett ($1M); Jane Seddon Willson ($1M); Bill and Linda Smittcamp Family ($500K); the Radin Foundation ($500K); the Matty Matoian Family ($400K); Bank of America ($250K); Berberian Brothers and the Berberian Family ($250K); Ken and Susan Boyd ($100K)
