Over 800 friends of UCSF gathered on May 24 for a special preview screening of the new Pixar film, Cars, at San Francisco's Castro Theatre. Co-chaired by Mary Murphy Conlin and Leigh Sherwood Matthes, the event benefited the Pediatric Cancer Program at UCSF Children's Hospital.
Internationally recognized as a leader in addressing the complex needs of children suffering from cancer, the program facilitates state-of-the-art clinical and laboratory research and provides expert diagnosis and innovative therapies for childhood cancers and blood disorders.
