Cool

My sister works at Comcast. They organized a toiletry drive for UCSF. She sent me the following this morning. It is personal for me since there were many times during our long 3 month stay at UCSF that I needed shampoo or toothpast or deodarant. What a very cool thing:


Comcast Donates 30,000 Toiletry Units to
UCSF Children’s Hospital

What started out as a competitive
contest between Comcast California
offices- turned out to be a record
breaking donation to University of
San Francisco’s Children Hospital.
Comcast California’s UCSF Children’s Hospital toiletry drive resulted in a donation of 30,000 units of items such as shampoo,soap, toothbrushes and other amenities to help families in need.

Comcasters from Sacramento, South Valley, Concord, Livermore and Morgan Hill participated in the contest and many who
donated came together on September 24th before sunrise to load Comcast vehicles to transport our contribution to the “Children’s Hospital by the sea”.

Founded in 1992, UCSF Children’s Hospital cares for children in territories from California to Oregon.

Operating on a tight budget allocated by the state, UCSF Children’s Hospital does not have funding to provide such amenities to families who have unexpectedly had to stay with their ill child. Comcast’s donation was the first time in UCSF Children’s Hospital history where they received a donation of toiletry items in this magnitude.
