The Lafayette-based Peter Pan Foundation, an inspiring nonprofit helping others through music and theater, donated $15,000 Aug. 14 to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland during a performance at the hospital. The donation will help fund a vibrant waiting room remodel, Child Life Services programs, the Artfelt Memories bereavement support group, stress relief coloring book pages, and ongoing pediatric HIV/AIDS psychosocial support.
"Helping young hearts to fly is so much more than just our slogan at the Peter Pan Foundation. It represents our mission to provide the young - and the young at heart - an enthusiastic environment in which participants are inspired to discover and develop their creative talents, while also teaching them important lessons about their responsibility to take care of themselves and others," said Leslie Noel, founder and director of the Peter Pan Foundation. "This donation was made possible by the love, laughter, talent, and hard work of our performers, and we couldn't be more pleased to be helping our friends at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital."
The Peter Pan Foundation exists to inspire children of all ages to reach their full potential by encouraging confidence, character, and creativity through music and theater, while instilling the value and benefits of community outreach.
