HAPPY NEW YEAR
From all of us at Valley Children's Healthcare Foundation
Fresno State Football Visits Valley Children's
On December 18, the Fresno State football team visited Valley Children's. Coach Tedford and his team visited units and clinics across the Hospital. The team brought special footballs for our patients to enjoy and a special jersey for President & CEO Todd Suntrapak. Thank you to Fresno State, Coach Tedford and the entire team for thinking of Valley Children's! Glad you came to visit!

Isnardi Foundation Makes $100,000 Gift
The Isnardi Foundation made a generous donation of $100,000 in support of the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program Endowment at Valley Children's. The Isnardi Foundation, a charitable organization located here in Fresno, has previously supported the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program in 2014 and 2016. 

In 2006, Vincent Isnardi created the Isnardi Foundation, which was his way of continuing to support those in need in the Fresno and surrounding area. Since the inception of the Foundation, many organizations have benefited from Vincent's generosity, including Valley Children's Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program.

We are so grateful for the Isnardi Foundation's ongoing support!
