Fund Raising Efforts:
Outreach: Childrens Hospital, we are in need of monetary donations to reach our annual goal. Please bring your spare change! We are also taking donations of toys, crayons and coloring books, anything a child can play with while in the hospital. Also, please save your "hotel minis" (shampoo, conditioner, lotion). They make great donations to the parents at the hospital as well.
