At Life Science Cares Bay Area, we believe in the power of partnerships to create meaningful change. Tonight, we were honored to attend Upward Scholars’ Celebrate with Us event, where we joined a community dedicated to empowering adult immigrants through education, career development, and holistic support. Upward Scholars provides vital resources—like financial aid for tuition and transportation, academic mentoring, and career pathways—to help students break down barriers and achieve economic mobility. Their impactful programs not only uplift individuals but also strengthen entire communities. We’re proud to fund this extraordinary organization and celebrate their students’ achievements, the unwavering commitment of their volunteers, and the generosity of donors who make it all possible. Together, we are creating opportunities and transforming lives. Thank you to Upward Scholars for letting us be part of your journey and for all you do to inspire hope and progress. #LifeScienceCares #UpwardScholars #EducationForAll #CommunityImpact

Life Science Cares Bay Area partnered with Ultragenyx and Biopharma Leaders of Color (BLOC) on the Black Professionals in Biopharma event designed to help create a safe space for a discussion around empowerment and resilience and provide networking opportunies. Our board of advisors member Linda Sierra did a great job recapping this event. There is no better testament to the success of an event than hearing directly from those who attended it. We were thrilled to create value for our stakeholders. Each panelist shared phenomenal insights. and the audience got grounded in the imperative behind ensuring the best most diverse teams are in place to ensure best access for patients. We were inspired and encouraged to approach people strategies in the same way that Scientists approach Drug Discovery with an experimentation mindset. More importantly the audience was encouraged to stay authentic and also to bring open-mindedness to their interactions to ensure every perspective is heard and conversations are encouraged. We hope this great conversation continues. Thank you panelists Ted W. Love, MD Dee Olomajeye Dragon @Rahsaan Thompson Erik Harris, moderator Aisha Baro, Biopharma Leaders of Color (BLOC) partners Willie T. Reaves Jr. Stephen Abreu and Ultragenyx hosts and visionaries Cedric Betts Lena Hernandez Life Science Cares Bay Area was humbled to be able to add value for its member companies.
