a First for Shriners Hospital for Children-Sacramento
Car dealers pledge $1 million to Shriners
The Greater Sacramento New Car Dealers Association has pledged $1 million over 10 years to pediatric research at Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California.
The endowment, part of the association's "Accelerate Hope" campaign, will be used to establish the "Fund for Innovation" to help treat sick and injured children at no cost to their families.
"This is the first association donation of its kind for Shriners Hospitals for Children... ," said Alan Anderson, development director of the Sacramento hospital. "Their gift is ground-breaking in its magnitude …. "
Officials said the funding will enable the Shriners Institute for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine to do further research on the prevention of congenital conditions, such as cerebral palsy, and enhance treatment of traumatic injuries.
John Driebe, president of the dealers association, said he hoped the research "will not only benefit the children but … have broader-range implications for adults as well."
The Greater Sacramento New Car Dealers Association represents more than 80 members in the region.

Un-Limb-ited Camp Sponsored by Shriners Hospital for Children & National Ability Ctr.
Kristine Littlefield, 16, of Centerville, jumps off a box at Park City Mountain Resort during the Un-Limb-ited Amputee Camp on Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013. The five-day camp sponsored by Shriners Hospitals for Children in partnership with the National Ability Center.
Ravell Call, Deseret News
PARK CITY — Teenage amputees from around the world have converged on Park City Mountain Resort this week, learning new skills and making connections with other youths who understand the challenges they face.
The participants have been hitting the slopes by day and going swimming and bowling at night as part of a skiing and snowboarding camp held by Shriners Hospitals for Children.
The 16 youths ages 13-18 at the Un-Limb-ited Amputee Camp hail from as far away as Chile, but each receives prosthetic and limb treatment in Salt Lake City.
Shriners is in its eighth year of providing the five-day camp, which is funded by donations to the hospital's activity fund and is free for the teenagers and their
families.
"Almost across the board, there are no other amputees in these kids' schools or their towns," said Matt Lowell, camp co-director. "It's good to come together and talk about the same challenges, the same stories. It's fun to see kids just totally become at ease and comfortable being themselves with each other."
The teens spend four hours per day with specially trained skiing and snowboarding instructors from the National Ability Center.
Camp participant Santiago Vega has qualified to represent Chile's ski team in the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia, and others are striving for similar goals.
"I just love being able to hit the slopes fast," said Centerville resident Kristine Littlefield, 16, who is attending the camp for a third time.
"The instructors have really pushed us and been helpful and nice."
But the camp isn't held primarily for competition. About half of the teens are still trying out the bunny hill. For the more experienced skiers and snowboarders, the rush of flying down the mountain becomes the main draw, but participants initially sign up to find friends who understand their situation.
"Especially now with social media, these guys are on Facebook with each other, and they text each other even after camp," said Laura Lewis, co-director of the camp. "When they go to school and they have a hard day, they've got some sort of support system to turn to. They (can say), 'It's all right. Someone knows exactly how I'm feeling in this situation.'"
Oakley Doyle, 13, of Riverton, is taking part in the camp for the first time. Oakley said she felt at home with the other teenagers from day one."I like all the kids that are in (the camp) because they were so welcoming," she said. "The second I walked in, I already had friends."
Daniella Jimenez, 17, of El Paso, Texas, has been enjoying her third and final year at the camp. She said her job is be a role model to the amputees with less experience.
"None of our situations are exactly the same," she said. "But in one way or another, you can relate to another person, just as far as how it happened or an experience you had that was similar. … The other kids will hear you've gone through the same things they have, so they can relate to you and look up to you at some point."
Necia Wiggins, who has volunteered with the camp for three years, said spending time around the amputees has changed her perspective on life."It just refreshes your soul to be with these kids," Wiggins said. "It's amazing to hear how well they cope with the cards they've been dealt with."

Burn Awareness
Shriners launches burn awareness effort
Monday, Feb. 4, 2013 - 12:00 am
A 5-year-old boy scalded by hot oil from a frying pan. A toddler who lost her lower legs and a hand to a raging infection. A young man whose car burst into flames after being struck by a drunken driver.
These are just a few of the patients who have received care at Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California since the facility opened in 1997 on Stockton Boulevard in Sacramento.
Shriners has been a godsend for many families – providing free burn and prosthetic care that would otherwise cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Shriners cares for children up to the age of 18 regardless of a family's ability to pay, though in recent years it has begun billing insurance companies for treatment of patients who have coverage.
In addition to treating children, the national Shriners Hospitals for Children organization focuses on preventing burns through education.
This is Burn Awareness Week, and Shriners is kicking off a yearlong education campaign focused on preventing scaldings and fire- related injuries in the home.
Information and educational materials can be found at www.burnawareness.org.
