3rd ANNUAL PICNIC, July 2003

Sponsors
Thank you very much to the following corporate sponsors who generously gave financial donations or donated items for our picnic.  We would especially like to thank the Samueli Foundation for their generous grant.

Thank you to Fire Station #4 in Irvine, for once again being the highlight of the picnic by allowing the kids to to see the trucks up close - you gus are great!  And, thank you to the Irvine Police Department for bringing their canine unit.  The kids LOVED seeing the dog and all of it's gear, and hearing how the dog helps in law enforcement.  We would also like to thank the Long Beach Ice Dogs for their very generous donation of tickets and stuffed animals, and for providing Spike, their mascot for the children to play with!

In addition to the companies listed below, we would like to thank all of the individuals who have donated to California Heart Connection.  Without the help of all of these individuals and businesses, our organization would not be possible.  Thank you!!
