ALL AT UCSD
SUBJECT: | "Off The Wall Street Dance" |
The fifteenth annual OFF THE WALL STREET DANCE will be held on
Sunday, August 31 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM! Between Gerard and Ivanhoe in
La Jolla, Wall Street will once again be transformed into a huge
celebration of summer with games, food, drink, music and fun for all. This year UCSD is celebrating twenty five years of graduating
physicians. The 25th Anniversary represents the graduation of over
2,500 physicians since the School of Medicine opened in 1968.
When you join the festivities at Off The Wall, everybody benefits
because the proceeds from your entrance ticket donation and from the
food and game booths suppport UCSD School of Medicine and UCSD Medical
Center. In the past, Off The Wall Foundation UCSD has provided
support for the care of newborns and infants in the Department of
Pediatrics, and contributed a new trauma operating room to the
UCSD Regional Trauma Center in memory of OTW Founder and UCSD School
of Medicine Associate Dean, the late Dr. Jack Farris. The Off The
Wall Foundation UCSD has also created a 10-year scholarship, making a
commitment to provide scholarship funding to a deserving 4th year
medical student specializing in pediatric care or general family
medicine.
As part of this year's celebration, the entrance donation has
been reduced. Tickets will be available at the gate for a $5.00
donation; children under 12 accompanied by a parent will be admitted
free. No tickets will be available in advance this year.
I would like to encourage you to support Off The Wall XV, which
in turn helps support UCSD School of Medicine and Medical Center. If
you need more information,
Please contact Kathleen Brennan in the Off The Wall office,

I look forward to seeing you on August 31!
