Casey's Fund and Good Cause Gifts Join to Support CCMC!
On December 8th Casey's Fund and Good Cause Gifts joined together to raise money for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center Hemotology Oncology Clinic.
Good Cause was crowded with many of our supporters doing a little shopping, sipping wine and connecting with friends. The evening included a raffle of a hand painted stools donated by Casey's mom, Rosemary. Every single stool was purchased and donated back to CCMC! The stools are used at the Connecticut Children's Hospital Hemotology Oncology Clinic.
Casey was treated at the CCMC Clinic along with many other young cancer patients. A box in the clinic contains "rewards"- small toys and games that are given to the brave little patients after every visit. The proceeds from this event helped to stock the toy chest with great prizes.
