The Sequoia Hospital Foundation is extremely proud of, and deeply thankful for, our continued partnership with Bob Hammer and the Have a Ball Foundation. Each year, through our Dr. William Kennett Memorial Nursing Scholarship Program, the Have a Ball Foundation generously sponsors a scholarship for a student enrolled in the Sequoia Hospital/San Francisco State University Bachelor of Science Nursing program at Cañada College. These scholarship awards can be used to pay for the students’ final year in the nursing program or any expenses related to their education including housing, transportation, childcare, books and equipment, etc..
Graduates from the program have gone on to successful nursing careers throughout the greater Bay Area and beyond and represent the next generation of highly-skilled compassionate caregivers. Several have advanced to leadership positions within their field. The Have a Ball Foundation continues to make a significant investment in the future of care for our area residents and for that we should all be grateful.
