Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center was selected as the local organization to receive a $50,000 donation from the CRESTOR Charity Challenge at last week’s 2005 Nissan Open at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades. The donation will help fund vital cardiac-monitoring equipment for the medical center’s pediatrics unit. Santa Monica-UCLA has the city’s only dedicated pediatrics unit to ensure that infants, children and adolescents receive age-friendly care when they need to be hospitalized.

The CRESTOR Charity Challenge, a season-long competition now in its second year, recognizes and rewards the tournament leader entering the final round at 35 PGA Tour events this season. CRESTOR, an AstraZeneca pharmaceutical product, donates $50,000 to that player’s favorite charity, as well as a matching amount to a local charity. This year, AstraZeneca will donate $3.5 million through the program.

Santa Monica-UCLA has provided emergency first-aid services at the Nissan Open for more than 20 years.
