April 17, 2018 – The Ambassadors for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital San Francisco held a Launch Party at Cultivar, which set the stage for the 2nd Annual Kentucky Derby Party fundraiser. Proceeds from the Launch Party, as well as this year’s sold-out Derby Party, will support the needs of families and their babies being treated in the Intensive Care Nursery.
 
The event also highlighted the many ways that the Ambassadors support the hospital. Founded in 2014, the Ambassadors is a diverse group of volunteers who share a deep love and concern for children's health. Through volunteerism and fundraising, Ambassadors support patients and their families with crucial services that are not covered by medical insurance including family support programs, child life specialists, creative arts, bereavement care, and social services.
