Since its establishment in 1997, Children's Medical Foundation has worked to publicize Shanghai Children's
Medical Center. Our activities include organizing a number of
visits to SCMC. Some of these were donor recognition
ceremonies while others were to acquaint donors with SCMC.
Donor Events
In April 1997, Children's Medical Foundation organized
the visit to the then uncompleted SCMC by the management of
Rockwell. This was followed in September 1997 by a visit by
John Stafford, CEO of American Home Products.
To mark the arrival of the first container
of medical equipment to SCMC in May 1998, we organized a
ceremony to thank Orient Overseas Container Line for providing
free container shipping of medical equipment from the US to
Shanghai. A total of 40 containers of medical equipment were
shipped.
In June 1998, we organized the opening of
SCMC by Hillary Rodham Clinton during the presidential visit
to China. The occasion was also attended by a delegation from
the US Congress including Senator John D. Rockefeller IV. A
total of 75 donor companies were represented by their
Regional Directors.
