lushing
brides know that a meaningful wedding lies in the details. For Marie
Kehoe, who works in the Children’s Hospital Trust, that meant
celebrating her and her fiancé Chris’s Irish heritage with a March wedding,
green bridesmaids dresses, and claddagh-themed centerpieces. It also
meant sharing a memorable favor with their guests—a tribute gift to
help Children’s patients.
“We asked ourselves ‘Do we want to send our guests home with a candle,
or do we want to make it personal?’” Kehoe says. “So we made a donation
to the hematology/oncology resource room in honor of my grandfather
and Chris’s grandmother, both of whom passed away in the last three
years from cancer.”
Kehoe was motivated to make the donation because she truly believes
in the hospital’s mission. “Knowing how great the programs are, and
how much caregivers invest in their jobs made me want to help the hospital
even more,” she says. “I can see firsthand that even though my gift
isn’t huge, it can have an impact on our patients and families.”
Children’s Special Occasion Favor program allows hosts to make charitable
gifts to the hospital in honor of memorable occasions. Cards notifying
guests that a gift has been made in their honor are available for $20
per pack of 10. For more information, contact Sarah Keblin at ext. 5-8126
