Children are extraordinary! Their boundless capacity
for love, their gifts of joy and laughter, their heartfelt compassion, and their simple honesty can
touch us in ways that are profound and life-changing. So, when children are threatened by serious
illness or injury, they deserve a level of treatment as extraordinary as they are. Mattel
Children’s Hospital UCLA is dedicated to providing that care.
Our team of world-class physicians and highly skilled nurses offers innovative treatment in a warm,
supportive environment that embraces not only the patient, but also the entire family. Tireless faculty
members and researchers work hand-in-hand with deeply committed residents, staff, and students in
constant pursuit of groundbreaking discoveries that could improve or even save the life of a child.
Specialists in our Child Life program interact with hospitalized patients and their families to ensure
that the social, emotional, and developmental needs of the children are being met as well as their
medical requirements. Together, we do everything possible to transform a potentially intimidating setting
into one where girls and boys feel safe, respected, and regarded for who they are.

Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA is a vital part of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, which
continues to be ranked “Best in the West” by U.S.News & World Report in its annual survey of
America’s hospitals.
As a state-assisted institution, Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA has increasingly limited funding
and must look to private and community support. In 2000, Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA created
its first-ever community event — Mattel Party on the Pier — to meet such challenges,
raising nearly $200,000 in that inaugural year! Thanks to Mattel, Inc. for its generous Title
Sponsorship; to the exceptional sponsorships of individuals, corporations, and private businesses; and
to our ticket buyers, event proceeds increased to nearly $650,000! You, too, can help us promote
children’s health by becoming a Sponsor of this year’s Mattel Party on the
Pier. Not only will you receive event tickets, but your contribution also will enable special
patients and their families to attend. Your support will make a difference, as we work to improve the
care, quality of life, and survival rate of children with serious diseases, disorders, and injuries.
