Kids Helping Kids
The Presbyterian Nursery School & Kindergarten in Westfield recently became aware of The Valerie Fund and immediately knew they wanted to help. Their generosity began with hand-designed cards from their kids to our kids and a letter to parents asking for donations which garnered over $1,000. Not stopping there, a Black & White Ball fundraiser was organized by Megan Hilly and Lisa Espina, event chairpersons, and Morgan Toriello, Christina McKee and Pam Tanki, PTO presidents. That evening's festivities combined with the previous card and letter campaign raised over $5,000 which the Presbyterian Nursery School & Kindergarten presented to The Valerie Fund during the last days of Grace's House. Joann Spera, Educational Liaison for The Valerie Fund Children's Center at Morristown medical Center attended and spoke to the parents and faculty about what their generosity means to The Valerie Fund kids.
Eighteen students from Gill St. Bernard's in Gladstone helped organize and pack toys for our TVF patients as part of their "Receiving and Giving" Unit! Thank you for your hard work!
