An empty construction truck will be waiting this Sunday, May 22, at the groundbreaking of Loma Linda University Health’s new adult and expanded Children’s Hospital towers.
The truck will be filled, not with dirt or construction materials, but spare coins or other amounts of cash tossed in by guests, allowing them to the contribute to the building project.
“This is our way of allowing the community be a part of the efforts to help children in the community,” says Kerry Heinrich, JD, CEO, of Loma Linda University Medical Center. “Kids and families who help us fill the truck will be able to say they helped Loma Linda build a new hospital.”
The family-friendly event will run from 2 to 5 p.m., with the formal program taking place at 2:30 p.m. For the kids, the afternoon will include obstacle courses, face painting and a petting zoo. Families can enjoy free giveaways, cooking demonstrations and a sneak peek of the new Children’s Hospital.
