Tahbazof Family Endowed Fund for the Teen Van
In June 2022, the Tahbazof Family Foundation established the Tahbazof Family Endowed Fund for the Teen Van with a $500,000 pledge to the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health.
This gift was made first and foremost to support the provision of specialized care services for Teen Van patients and secondarily, to help cover staffing and operational expenses associated with running the Van.
