From time to time, children associated with Sunrise Day Camp and our year-round programs fall ill, requiring hospitalization and separation from their friends and family. A group of our camp staff as well as some of our trained volunteers visit hospitals to bring Sunrise greetings and a "bag of fun" to our Sunrise children. We guarantee to bring a smile to any and every child's face while we visit!
As a direct result of our presence in the outpatient clinic with our Sunrise
on Wheels project, we have met so many new children and families, some
of whom are not (or not yet) Sunrise campers. Yet because of these close
associations, many parents are now asking us to stop by to see their
children when they are admitted, which can often occur right after their
clinic appointment. So now we always carry an extra goodie bag or two,
just in case we have the chance to bring a smile to any child, whether they
are a camper or not.
As for our Sunrise Parents, please contact Bonnie at (516) 732-8043 or
at bflatow@friedbergjcc.org if you would like a bit o' sunshine brought
to your child in the hospital. If you have not received our Sunshine from
Sunrise refrigerator magnet and calling cards, please contact Bonnie, and
she will mail them to you immediately. |
