Talking Back

My hospitalized children had an opportunity to support the local General Federation of Women’s Clubs with their initiative to raise money for Operation Smile, which oversees medical/surgical intervention for children who are severely disfigured and require extensive facial surgery.

About 45 of my 150 children and adolescent population rose to the occasion. They devised three fundraisers for my self-contained campus including a car wash, bake sale and walk-a-thon [called] “Walking a Mile for a Smile!” Additionally, staff conducted a bake sale of their own.
