UCSF Medical Center invites the community to participate in its 5k Hard Hat Walk and Lights On Festival on Saturday, Sept. 6, to support its new state-of-the-art medical center for children, women and cancer patients in San Francisco's Mission Bay. The fundraising events kick off the final countdown to the grand opening of UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay on Feb. 1, 2015.
The interactive 5k Hard Hat Walk concludes with the Lights On Festival, a street festival and light show projected onto the new UCSF hospitals. Members of the Warriors organization will join the festivities for the 5K Hard Hat Walk, which will begin on Third Street and finish in front of the new hospitals. Pre-walk festivities begin at 3:30 pm, the walk begins at 5:30 pm.
At the finish line, participants who have donated or raised a minimum of $100 will be welcomed to the Lights On Festival to enjoy complimentary refreshments from more than 20 local eateries, such as Range, Bi-Rite, MoMo's, The Melt and Kara's Cupcakes.
Entertainment includes more than 10 live performance groups including local bands San Francisco Rock Project and WJM, the world's youngest social-impact rock band (5th graders in a rock band!), and Emmy-nominated DJ Cory Live! As the sun sets, the festival will conclude with a light show projected onto the new facilities until 8:30 p.m.
The fundraising events support the new UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay, which includes UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco, UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women's Hospital and UCSF Bakar Cancer Hospital.
Participants can walk as individuals or form teams to fundraise, directly contributing to the lifesaving work that happens at UCSF Medical Center on a daily basis. Registration for the Hard Hat Walk is $25 and each participant gains entrance to the Lights On Festival with an additional $75 donated or raised for a total of $100 (children 12 and under have no minimum fundraising requirements).
