Our First Danbury Hospital Drop Off

Thank You Western Connecticut State University O.W.L's

We would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU out to
Myrna Flaccavento
and the 
Western Connecticut State University O.W.L. Program
for organizing a wonderful Giving Tree Program for Doing Good In Her Name this past holiday season.

We were thrilled when Myrna, who is the Vice President for WCSU's O.W.L. (Older Wiser Learners) Program, contacted us in August to let us know that the O.W.L's had chosen Doing Good In Her Name to be the recipients of their Giving Tree Program this year. Over the course of November and December, Myrna and the O.W.L's collected several bags just brimming with beautiful donations such as clothing, books, toys, bottles of hand sanitizer, gift cards, teethers, and blankets to benefit the critically ill infants being treated in the NICU at Danbury Hospital.

After meeting with Myrna to pick up the donations, Peyton's Grandmother, Elizabeth Roberts, took the items over to Danbury Hospital for delivery, and met with Grace Linhard, the Vice President of Danbury Hospital's Development Fund.

In addition to the amazing items collected by The O.W.L's, a box of thirty preemie outfits donated by Betsy Beasley were also delivered, making this first delivery to Danbury Hospital's NICU a huge success!

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO MYRNA
AND ALL THE O.W.L's WHO DONATED
TO THE
GIVING TREE PROGRAM!
