Support Children's Hospital and get great holiday items with the Holiday Project

Posted 10/26/2009

Vanderbilt employees are invited to support the annual Holiday Project, the fundraiser sponsored by the Friends of Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. The annual project incorporates art designed by patients and former patients into holiday cards, gift tags, wrapping paper and gift items such as Christie Cookie tins and Choco-logo treats.  The Holiday Project also offers Contribution Cards as a new item this year, allowing purchasers to make a donation to the hospital in honor or in memory of a loved one.  

Holiday Project products are available at www.vanderbiltchildrens.org/holidayproject. Vanderbilt employees can also purchase items at the annual hospital sale, set from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both Nov. 2 and Dec. 2, on Main Street in the Children’s Hospital.  Additionally, products are for sale from now through the holidays in the Friends Shop in Children’s Hospital, as well as off campus at Whole Body, The French Shoppe and Lisa’s Hallmark in the Mall at Green Hills.

Friends of Children’s Hospital is a 38-year-old organization whose mission is to provide volunteer services to all units of Children’s Hospital, its patients and families.  It serves to enhance the hospital in matters of fund raising and public relations, and assists the hospital in continually re-examining and improving the various aspects of its services to patients and their families.
