Welcome to the 2010 Sharp Lends a Hand Program

Last year, the people of Sharp HealthCare volunteered at five community projects. You demonstrated your passion for helping others by giving 5,500 hours of personal time.

Once again, you have the chance to combine your passion with other giving people to make a difference in San Diego through Sharp Lends a Hand.

By harnessing the energy and enthusiasm of 14,000 employees, we will provide the people-power — the volunteer labor — for a project that ignites your passion for improving the health of San Diego.

So how does this work?
Tell us about projects you care about, something that promises real change. If some extra elbow grease will elevate it from mild achievement to wild success, let us know.

Sharp's 14,000 team members will vote for the community service project, or projects, for this coming year.

Then we'll mobilize to make a difference.

And what are the rules?
Successful requests will:

  • Be completed between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, 2010.
  • Focus on improving the health and well being of San Diego in a broad, positive way
  • Include projects that generally occur on weekends
  • Rely on Sharp for volunteer labor only
  • Support non-profit initiatives, community activities or other programs that serve San Diego in our Sharp communities (sorry, we cannot support for-profit endeavors)

Requests must be submitted using the online form by Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009.

 

Submit your idea


Spread the Word
Please join us in encouraging your family and friends to nominate a community project that is important to them. Together, we will share our time and energy to light the spark of change.

What's Next?
Sharp Lends a Hand project ideas will be voted on by Sharp HealthCare's employees in November 2009. The project winners will be posted on Sharp.com in early December. Be sure to check back here to see what projects we'll be completing together in 2010.
