| Description: | UC San Diego Cares Week is a community service campaign for student organizations, campus centers, and departments. The purpose of this annual event is to raise awareness and inspire activism for local, national and global social issues within the broader UC community. Organizations are invited to promote their causes and showcase the impact of their community activism. Members of the broader UC San Diego community are encouraged to raise their personal awareness on a myriad of social issues, and to take advantage of many opportunities to sign up for community service activities, donate items to charities, contribute to fundraising efforts, and engage with on- and off-campus philanthropic organizations. This year’s 8th Annual Care Week will target awareness for Rady Children's Hospital, which seeks to restore, sustain and enhance the health and developmental potential of children through excellence in care, education, research and advocacy. The aspiration for adopting a specific campaign is to demonstrate the synergetic impact of a community working together, in addition to showcasing the wide array of service and activism the community regularly undertakes. Cares Week 2009 will kick off with a campus-wide Hands on San Diego project, and culminate with Dance Marathon 2009. UC San Diego Cares Week 2009 is coordinated by the Center for Student Involvement and UCSD Student Foundation, and is sponsored by the Associated Students, Alumni Association, UCSD Staff Association, Student Affairs, and the UCSD Bookstore. |
