Glitter & Give … Mall Walk
Paqui and Brian Kelly and the Kelly Cares Foundation have generously pledged $250,000 to help fund the new home for Memorial Children’s Hospital. Their gift was donated as part of Shine: the Campaign for Memorial Children’s Hospital, which aims to raise $10 million to help expand pediatric health care services right here in our community.
They also challenge all of us to Glitter and Give. There are many ways to do so, including:
- Donate at https://beaconhealthsystem.org/glitter-and-give/
- Text “Beacon Kids” to 20222 to donate to Memorial’s Children Hospital
- Challenge your friends to Glitter and Give on Facebook
- Share the Glitter and Give story on your social media sites.
Look for a special Glitter & Give insert in the April edition of the BEAM.
Hearts of Gold Mall Walk 2015
Thanks to all of the Beacon associates, volunteers and community members for helping to raise more than $60,000 at the Hearts of Gold Mall Walk on February 14! Nearly 900 registered walkers braved the wintry weather to raise funds for the Child Life Endowment at Memorial Children’s Hospital. Special guests (including princesses and action heroes!), live music, face painting and more kept walkers motivated during their laps around the University Park Mall.
