They are a specialty hospital caring for children and young adults with extremely fragile health conditions, ages 1 to 20. Many of our patients are unable to attend school, so our amazing teachers bring the classroom to their bedside.
This holiday season, we’re collecting cozy socks and soft blankets to bring comfort, warmth, and a little joy to our students during a time that can be challenging for them and their families.
Thank you in advance from The Teachers!
We love dogs,
But due to the amount of people attending this hike we don't recommend bringing pet(s).
