Dear Metin,

Thank you so much for your generous donation to our patients at Miller Children's Hospital. Your beautiful artwork for our patients is extremely rewarding for those patients. We are going to frame your artwork and place the pictures around the hospital. The beautiful paintings are going to help brghten the days of our patients and help make their hospitalization easier.

Again, thanks for bringing your artwork to our pediatric patients and their families.

It is difficult for anybody to be hospitalized, but especially a child. Chidlren need some normalcy of home life while they are hospitalized. Your generosity is especially appreciated.

Being hospitalized is difficult at any time, and your outstanding kind donation helped bring joy to our patients.

Sincerely,

Rita Bright, MA, CCLS

Dear Friend,

I want to personally thank you for donating an item to the auction for our gala. I can't tell you how many people have contacted me to tell me what a fantastic time they had, marveling at the number and quality of auction items. Over half of the money we raised came from auction items, thanks to you!

The Night of Wonder 2003 raised over $140,000, funds that will be used to continue our important work for these special children...

Thank you again for the generous donation you so graciously gave to us.

Together, we WILL find a cure!

Sincerely,

Audrey Gordon, Esq.

Dear Mr. Metin,

On behalf of the Staff at UCSF Children's Hospital and the chidlren and families participating in our services, I would like to thank you for your recent donation of artwork.

As you know, the hospital environment can be stressful for children and their families... As you can imagine, our patients are in great need of beautiful artwork and surroundings to distract them while they are dealing with the challenges illness and hospitalization can bring...
