Humanist holiday donation to the VMC Foundation

Almost every December, I make a donation to the pediatrics department of a hospital in the San Francisco Bay Area. This year I chose the Valley Medical Center (VMC) in San Jose.

After some inquiries, I learned that the pediatrics department at VMC prefers to receive cash, as opposed to toys, so that they could purchase items which could be used by all kids (for example a new TV).

As I had done last year, I asked the Humanist Community to join me in this effort. I am happy to say that in early December, a total of $560 was sent to the VMC Foundation from:
a.    San Francisco Bay Area Humanists - $100
b.    Humanist Community in Silicon Valley - $460

Thanks to all for helping make a positive impact locally!

Happy 2011 to everyone!
