The El Camino Hospital Board of Directos honored the Santa Clara Sporting Club and Goals for a Cure on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 with a special Recognition of Service to the Community.

RESOLUTION 2014-4
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EL CAMINO HOSPITAL REGARDING  RECOGNITION  OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY

WHEREAS, the  Board  of  Directors  of  El  Camino  Hospital  values  and  wishes  to  recognize  the contribution of individuals who enhance the experience of the hospital's patients, their families, the community and the staff, as well as individuals who in their efforts exemplify El Cammo Hospital's mission and values.

WHEREAS, the Board wishes to honor and acknowledge the Santa Clara Sporting Soccer Club for their continued support and generosity to provide funds to El Camino Hospital that enable free mammogram screenings for uninsured and under-insured  women in the community.

Goals-for-a-Cure, the fundraising  program initiated by the soccer club in 2008, raises awareness and money to fight breast cancer through early detection. The  winning team of the  annual soccer competition presents a donation check to El Camino Hospital, which provides free mammograms to women  who  need  financial  assistance. Since 2008, Goals-for-a-Cure  has  raised and donated over $155,000, and allowed El Camino Hospital to provide mammograms for 600 women in Santa Clara County. These outstanding contributions have recently allowed the Breast Health Center to expand services to provide additional diagnostic  screenings such as ultrasound, MRI and biopsy exams to women who require follow up after their initial visit.

This team approach to philanthropy demonstrates the sporting club's passion and devotion to quality, health and service. It is with their continued dedication and  support, that  El Camino Hospital can provide access to health and prevention resources to those in need in our community.

WHEREAS, the Board would like to commend Santa Clara Sporting Soccer Club for their shared vision and commitment to improving the breast health of our community through early detection.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board does formally and unanimously pay tribute to: The Santa Clara Sporting Soccer Club
FOR THEIR COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION TO ENHANCING PATIENT CARE AND QUALITY  FOR THE PATIENTS WE SERVE.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have here unto set my hand this 9TH DAY OF APRIL, 2014.
