At City of Hope, we have a team of professionals who deal with the quality of children's lives, how they go to school, how they function away from the hospital, developing as normal children growing up. This room is a very good example of how we try to deal with all the concerns, the psychosocial concerns of children with catastrophic diseases.

It's wonderful to be part of the City of Hope family. Thank you very much. [Music] >> Hey, how are you, sweetheart? Go ahead and ask the city. >> Did you ever did you ever see such a fantastic setup as this? I've never seen anything like it in my life. One of the things about the uh the city of hope though that has always struck me that I was so pleased to learn about and to work with it is that uh for the patients who are ill and who have particularly terminal diseases that the family can come and live here on the grounds these beautiful grounds with them and uh keep maintain the family and help them through the last >> and if you haven't got the money comes for free. >> Absolutely. That's growing. >> And there's people people all over the United States that contribute to this wonderful facility. It's a matter of people helping people. >> Exactly. >> And caring. Our golf tournament, as you know, raises a lot of money for City of Hope. >> When's the next one? >> It's in July, I believe. It's the medical center aids of the city of Hope. We honored August Bush the third last year. And not only did we raise a lot of money for the tournament, but he established a research foundation which will be perpetual. And that's what it's all about. It's growth. It's every year something new happens. People get more involved, more concerned, and it's just magnificent. >> Also, their research center is extraordinary here. >> You know, I'm I'm just thinking to myself of all the money that could be possibly even more brought into the city of hope. supposing as we do in the Screen Actors Guild, we give 1% of our of our money to the uh you know the actor's home and and that includes a hospital actor's fund that includes hospital and everything else. Supposing that we it became a kind of a perpetual thing with unions in this country to give a certain percentage of their receipts to the city of hope. Wouldn't that make it great? >> How did you first about Carl >> about well I knew knew about it about 30 years ago when every year I would buy three books to win that Cadillac or that Mercedes and I'm still waiting to win that Mercedes and I'm still buying three books and I figured the only way to find out whether there's anything crooked going on is to join them infiltrate so here I am you know there's nothing crooked going on it's a beautiful organization and if you feel like >> opening your heart to something and giving this is the place to give >> absolutely >> and don't leave home without it. >> Don't forget. >> All right. Now, do we get picked up for another six weeks? [Music] >> Good to see you. >> It sounds like he's already get in there. Get in. Get in. Get in. >> You get in. >> I will interview. >> I was I was the woman of the year last fall like this. My biggest spread. How did you first become interested in the city of H? >> Well, I became the woman of the year of the city of last year, but for years I think this is about the most fantastic wonderful organization in the world. I when I come here and see the children, I must have a basket case for about two three months. But what these wonderful doctors do here, this this is the same place. That's what I think about. >> A that's lovely. >> Really? I I help as much as I can but none of us can help you know. >> No, >> but they say they are going to have that serum for the vaccination and now they can you know take out the bone marrow and transplant it. We'll get there. We'll get there. >> So you know what's beautiful the the research facilities which are the most modern and the most upto-date and as soon as they make a discovery they publish it immediately. They share it. Most hospitals don't. when they find something they keep it they do it I guess for business reasons but here it's public domain as soon as they find something they share it with not only with other hospitals and doctors in this country but all over the world >> and I understand at that cancer facility here that results are inspected by the queen of England uh who thought so very much of it is also one of the finest in the world and I think that that's marvelous because uh in the near very near future I'm sure that through the help of city of Hope we'll have a cure for cancer. >> Absolutely. >> Oh, definitely. We have to. >> So, we need your money, folks. We really do. >> Send it. What the hell are you? Your Majesty, Council General Finlen, Mr. Dver, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Lee, and honored guests. This is a particularly pleasing moment for me. Two years ago, I worked very it is an honorable occasion. Your majesty's presence honors the lees of fruition. >> Mr. and Mrs. Lee have honored us by this facility and s and we hope sincerely that this facility and ceremony >> consecration of heart. But I must suggest to you all that the greater honor lies within our humanity. Catastrophic disease does not discriminate. It strikes children of all races and creeds. A child in Great Britain is as susceptible as any child in the USA or for that matter in the world. But when we allow our humanity to guide our efforts, when researchers in London can collaborate with our research staff here in Dwati, when American physicians can rely on their Commonwealth counterparts, when you and I dedicate ourselves to providing the support these men and women need in order to eradicate disease and improve the quality of life, then all concerned are due life's greatest honor, the honor of human kindness. I am proud to be a part of this recognition of those qualities of Sadi and Norman Lee of British and American healthc care practitioners of our supporters >> pediatric research center. Ma'am, if you will help me remove the cover from the plate that denotes the laboratory. It's wonderful. Tony, step back.
