NOVEMBER 2015
From Eureka to Mission Bay
H
olly James may have cancer, but cancer
most definitely doesn’t have her.
Holly James was just finishing the
7th grade when she started experiencing very bad headaches.
It didn’t take much for the A+ student to figure out that
something was wrong. The cause of Holly’s crippling headaches
was diagnosed as a brain tumor by her doctors in Eureka,
California. She was referred immediately to the UCSF Benioff
Children’s Hospital. Since Eureka is a 6-hour drive from San
Francisco, Holly was airlifted emergently the same day as her
diagnosis. Once at UCSF, she started a journey that has, for
the past 12 months, included several brain surgeries, radiation
treatments, chemotherapy, and blood transfusions. Spending
long weeks in the hospital, and then at Family House, Holly
became all too familiar with the circuitous drive from Family
House on Irving Street to the new hospital in Mission Bay.
“Being far away from the hospital in a city like San Francisco
added so much stress to my treatment. Getting into the car and
going through the gauntlet of construction, one-way streets,
terrible traffic, road closures, and the rest actually made me feel
sicker than I was already.”
“We weren’t sure what to expect,” mom, Saundra, reported.
“Once Holly was airlifted to San Francisco, the rest of us
scrambled to figure out what life would be like. The questions
that flew through our heads were, ‘How long will we be gone?
What should I take care of before we leave?’ It was a trauma,
being thrown into the unknown, not just with Holly’s health,
but for the entire family.” The rest of the family is dad, Bill
and brother, Connor. “The only good thing about the timing
of her diagnosis is that Holly and Connor didn’t have to be
pulled out of school.” Once school did start in the fall, neither
Holly nor Connor fell behind. A self-proclaimed dork, Holly
loves reading manga comics and science fiction, watching Dr.
Who, and doing all the other things that typical 14-year olds do.
As Holly underwent a year of grueling treatment, the James
family enjoyed what San Francisco has to offer: The Academy
of Sciences, The San Francisco Zoo, Botanical Gardens,
Japantown, and more. “It’s a lot easier to make our way through
San Francisco when we’re going to Golden Gate Park instead
of going to the hospital!”
The
best
news?
The James family, thanks
to Make-A-Wish, spent
a lovely end-of-summer
vacation in Italy, all
expenses
paid.
“Who
would’ve thought that, at
the end of this hideous
year, we would end up in
Italy, all of us healthy and
together?”
At the Nancy and Stephen
Grand Family House
And Holly’s attitude about beating this whole cancer thing?
“Hey, it’s not brain surgery.”
O U R MIS S IO N
The mission of Family House is to serve as a home away from home for families of children with cancer and other
life-threatening illnesses by providing physical comfort and emotional support, free from financial concerns.

Chairman’s Message
Dear Family House Community,
A
s the opening date for the
Nancy and Stephen Grand
Family House approaches
in March 2016, I can’t help but take
a moment to reflect on what an
incredible journey we have taken
together over the past few years.
Scott Miller
Thanks to you, our incredible donors
and volunteers, we will finally be able
to say YES to every family in need of our services; the lives of
thousands of children and families will be positively influenced,
for generations to come. In just a few short months, not only
will we open the doors of the new, 80-bedroom Nancy and
Stephen Grand Family House, but we’ll also open up an entirely
new chapter of family services and support that will improve
the well-being of all our guests. Together with our partners at
the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, we will provide familycentered care and a healing environment that will truly be
second to none!
I would like to say a special thanks to my fellow Board
Members, without whose expertise and dedication the Family
House mission and new building project would never have
been realized. The countless hours of planning, meetings,
strategizing, and monster challenges were all met with more
intelligence, perseverance, and focus on our mission than I
could’ve expected. This has truly been a team effort, and I am
grateful to each one of our amazing Board Members for their
gifts of time, talent, and compassion to make Family House
and this project such a success. As many of you know, the true
heroes of this project are Nancy and Stephen Grand, whose
focused and thoughtful philanthropy came at a critical time
to ensure the attainment of our $42.0 million fundraising goal,
and whose ongoing involvement have strengthened the entire
organization. The Grands know first hand about the hardships
that our families face on a daily basis, and know how important
the new Family House will be in easing that burden. We are
indebted to Nancy and Stephen for their leadership, kindness,
and generosity, and for their ongoing commitment to make life
better for those less fortunate.
There are so many more people to thank at this time,
including and especially our donors. Too many to list here,
the 700+ donors who have committed their support to this
project, from the Grands to a former patient who presented
us with her allowance of $1 “for the new building,” have
brought us to the finish line. Our professional team of Sue
Diamond, Karen Tiedemann, Luis Rodriguez, Catherine
Reilly, Bob Nibbi, John Kugler, Lydia Tan, Chancellor Sam
Hawgood, and countless others each played an important
and essential role. Alexandra Morgan, Jessica Creager, Sue
Neff, Joey Kotfica, and the entire staff at Family House have
been nothing short of spectacular, and without them, there
would be no Family House. I am grateful to them all.
In the end, what we do is all about serving families. We
make every effort to keep families together and intact during
this worst time of their lives. Our tools to fulfill the mission
are: comfortable, safe bedrooms; shared meals; transportation;
and other types of support from car repairs to birthday parties.
In reality, we offer dignity. No matter the circumstance,
where home happens to be, income level, background, or age,
everyone who stays at Family House is welcomed in the same
way–with dignity. Thank you, again, for your compassion for
our families, and for your continued support of Family House.

in the family lounge, or even in their cars because they had no
other place to stay. Having cancer was frightening for Stephen,
but he could not imagine how scary it would be for young
children and their parents who were far from home. It was that
experience that led to redefining the future of Family House
for the next 50 years.
Not long after Stephen received a clean bill of health, the
Grands found Family House, and in quick order, made a single
truly humbling and inspiring lead gift to create the Nancy and
Stephen Grand Family House at Mission Bay. Beyond dollars
invested in the project, the Grands made their pledge in a way
that improved and enhanced the organizational development of

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT ON MISSION BAY
Julie Coyle
Julie Coyle is a woman who lives for creativity. As an
extremely busy and successful art consultant, designer, and
fabricator, she was intrigued when she read an article in the
San Francisco Business Times about Family House moving
to Mission Bay, and wanted to become part of the team. Her
reason is a familiar one: Julie’s son, Joe, had been successfully
treated in the UCSF Intensive Care Nursery when he was
born. Julie and her family were blown away by the level of
care, compassion, and competence that they received from
then-pediatrician Dr. Sam Hawgood (now UCSF Chancellor)
and PICU nurse Kim Scurr (now Executive Director of the
UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital San Francisco), as well as
the entire NICU team. Their successful care of Joe many
years ago led Julie to a lifelong commitment of giving back
to UCSF and its pediatric care operations. Her wish to be
part of that continued high-quality care led her to donate
her time, talent, and treasure to the new UCSF Benioff
Children’s Hospital at Mission Bay, where she served as an
active member on its Art Committee, offering insights both
as an art professional and a parent whose son spent 30 days
in the NICU. The result of the committee’s work is a beautiful,
state-of-the-art children’s hospital with unusual creative
elements that all enjoy, including child-generated art
installations throughout the hospital. The brilliance in these

pieces (with the original concept by Child Life Art Therapist
Lynn Baer) is that they were composed of daily elements
common to young patients: syringes, paper cups, masks, gauze,
and tongue depressors. The opportunity to make something
creative out of these materials was a hit with the children.
Her progression to becoming a volunteer on planning the
new Family House art program was a natural one. Julie’s
genuine empathy and affinity for recognizing beauty inside
and out meant that she was perfect for the job of directing
the artistic environment inside Family House. The oft-quoted
line, “What is essential is invisible to the eye,” frames the
spirit in which Julie conducts her work–understanding that
an environment can help inspire hope and strength to those
facing life’s most difficult challenges. These are often the
only tools that families have in the face of pediatric cancer
and other serious illnesses.
Julie Coyle has a big vision for the artwork at the new Nancy
and Stephen Grand Family House: to create a comforting,
uplifting, and healing space that will inspire and support
families and their well-being during their child’s treatment.
We look forward to the experience that Julie has planned
for everyone who visits Family House.

Genentech Gives Back
There are many ways for corporate community members to distinguish themselves
as good neighbors and friends to worthwhile causes, but there are very few corporate
employee groups who participate as well and as consistently at Family House as
Genentech.
For the past 6 years, Genentech
employees have washed windows,
painted bedrooms, gardened, conducted
fundraising drives, cooked meals, run
special events, collected gas and food
gift cards, been Secret Santas, held
employee volunteer fairs, and donated a
van (stocked full of toys!)–all for Family
House. If ever a model for corporate
commitment to the community existed,
then Genentech must be it. These are
simply consistent, good deeds to improve
the lives of seriously ill children staying at Family House by providing support to
strengthen our families and the community in which we live and work.
At Family House, we believe in developing long-term partnerships with employees
from a broad range of professional backgrounds, but Genentech pretty much broke
the mold when it comes to all of the different ways one organization makes Family
House better. The variety of volunteer opportunities that support our success is
assistance beyond the grant check, which is as important as the grant itself, and
seems to be hardwired into the Genentech culture.
Perhaps the most astounding and
well-placed gift was that of a
10-seat passenger van that
Genentech presented to
Family House to help our
families get around San
Francisco. In discussing
the gift with a group of
Genentech employees, they said that it
is their way of being a good neighbor who would
be happy to give a family a lift to a doctor’s appointment. Simple. Effective.
Once the Nancy and Stephen Grand Family House opens at Mission Bay in the
spring, we look forward to welcoming even more Genentech employees into the
Family House family.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Double or triple the impact of your gifts–ask your Human Resources Department
if your company has a matching program. Complete the employee section of
the form provided by your Human Resources Department, send it with your gift
to Family House, and we’ll take it from there. If you have a question about your
company’s matching donation, please contact Director of Development Susan Neff
at (415) 476-9568 or [email protected].
