Rolling and Bowling With Our Families
Saturday, February 23, 2008
(Casey Cares Foundation)
A big thank you
goes out to Joe and Kirsten Milano for
sponsoring our Bowling and Skating Party, one
in a series of group parties we host for
our families each year. As the families
entered the bowling alley, they were greeted by
friendly Casey Cares volunteers and other Casey
Cares kids being treated for Leukemia,
Medulloblastoma, and Sickle Cell Disease.
The relief was evident on the children’s faces
as they realized that today; they would not be
the only sick kids in the room. The
parents were able to lean on each other
that
afternoon,
knowing that they were in the company of
apathetic care givers whose families were
enduring the same treatment regimens for
complicated diseases.
Each family
received two games of bowling, pizza, drinks
and skating. As the afternoon drew to an
end, the children were all smiles.
Packing up their cars to head home, the Moms
and Dads knew that their children would sleep
well tonight. Thank you to everyone that
made the day possible, including our special
families!
