LEADERSHIP MIAMI TEAM TO HOST 'STORYBOOK BREAKFAST' AT HOLTZ CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Leadership Miami program participants will host a "Storybook Breakfast" event for pediatric cancer patients on Thursday, March 29, 9-11:30 a.m. The event will be held at Holtz Children's Hospital's Hematology/Oncology Clinic (ACC West 5A), 1611 NW 12 Avenue, and will celebrate the launch of a book program for patients and families.
"Storybook Breakfast" activities include a storybook themed breakfast, magic tricks, story telling and more. The event is open to patients and families of the pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic at Holtz Children's Hospital.
"The children's book program will brighten the lives of children who are battling cancer and other blood disorders by providing them with a variety of books to choose from," said Kefryn Block, project coordinator for Leadership Miami's Mission Possible, the team who spearheaded the initiative. "We hope that reading will allow them to escape the confines of their treatment rooms and to use their imagination."
Members of the Mission Possible team have raised more than $4,000 to date to purchase a selection of children's books. However, additional funding is needed to support the program's longevity. For information about donating to the project, call Kefryn Block at (786) 223-2733.
