When chaplains at Children's Hospital Boston decided to make the chapel more visually evocative, they commissioned Evelyn Berde, an artist and former Child Life specialist at Children's, to embrace the challenge. Berde thought back to her time at the hospital before coming up with the idea to create "Four Seasons" based on the physical and emotional changes staff, families and patients go through at Children's.

Nearly 4,000 walkers logged 7or 2 miles at NSTAR's Walk for Children's on June 8, making it the largest turn-out in Children's walk history. The event raised more than $800,000 for the hospital, with pledges still being counted.
Children's employees, patient families and corporations got into the spirit of the day, forming 288 teams—28 of them hospital teams. NSTAR and area Best Buy stores rallied roughly 300 walkers each. In addition to forming teams, many companies sponsored the Walk, donated goods and services, and much more. Last year, NSTAR signed on as a named sponsor of the walk, giving a powerful boost to this important hospital event. To see more about the event click here to view the event's photo gallery.
