We had a blast at our Truck-or-Treat event at @UCSFBenioffOAK this past Sunday.
We hosted over 1,500 people in Oakland for a free community event that brought Temescal out to celebrate and to learn more about the strengthening of our beloved local Children’s Hospital.

Our third annual Touch-A-Truck at Parnassus Heights was phenomenal with over 3,000 families having a wonderful Saturday morning on campus. We had music, arts-and-crafts, and SUPER COOL TRUCKS. This free community event is always a hit, and the third edition was full of smiles.

What a victory for Science! @UCSF joined our partners @UAW and Senator @Scott_Wiener to celebrate passage of SB 895 to fund $7.5B for research in California. From life changing treatments to career paths for scientists, this funding will make a huge difference for Californians.
