Warm Winter & A Cold Drink

Riley Hospital Annual Luncheon
The Riley Annual Luncheon has become one of my favorite events of the year. This year I got all dressed up in my "Riley red" dress because I was going to help Riley Childrens Foundation President & CEO Kevin O'Keefe make a "super" announcement. The luncheon included the introduction of the eight new Riley champions and the program also highlighted the Child Life Specialists and how they are an important part of the healing process. I love the Child Life Specialists and they are always bringing smiles to patients faces. Whether it's through music or art therapy, the Child Life Department is an important part of treatment. Who knew games, music, and dancing could be so therapeutic??!!
After a couple of presentations and live entertainment provided by Jon McLaughlin, it was time. Kevin & I took the stage to announce the Super Baskets of Hope program. As the host city for Super Bowl XLVI, what a better way to show kids around the country a little Hoosier Hospitality!!! The program, inspired by Angela Brunette's Baskets of Hope, was marketed to all 32 NFL cities to deliver 7,000 baskets to sick kids in each NFL city's local children's hospital. The baskets would contain games, books, puzzles, pillow pets, jewelry, stationary, and NFL gear. Once the baskets were assembled and delivered, NFL players & coaches would personally deliver the baskets. I made a card which included my artwork and a special message that was going to be placed in every basket so that each child knew that we were thinking of them here in Indiana!!!
