John Salcido SAA 2024
Hi Friends and Family,
It’s our 12th year raising funds for Swim Across America! I love participating in this annual event, to honor our friends and family impacted by cancer and support UCSF’s pediatric cancer programs!
San Francisco's Swim Across America Open Water Swim will be held on October 5th. Since I’m not an open water swimmer, I’ll volunteer instead at the starting area at Little Marina Green that morning.
All donations benefit UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital’s pediatric cancer research and survivorship programs. I’ve personally toured the SF survivorship center with Dr Goldsby, and this year will visit the Oakland research lab with Dr Saba. They each have dedicated their careers to improving cancer outcomes for kids, and appreciate our amazing annual support.
Last year you were incredibly generous! Together we raised over $7,500! This year I've started us off with a $500 donation, and will add $100 more at each $1,000 milestone we collectively raise.
As an additional thank you for donating, I’ll recognize your friends & family members impacted by cancer on the back of my SAA t-shirt. Last year we honored eighty-five of them!
Thank you all so much for your ongoing support!
Love John
