Sip, Sip, Hooray! Dunkin Brings Joy To UHS Pediatrics
Dunkin' brings such joy to people's lives. Whether it's a jumpstart in the morning or a pick-me-up in the afternoon, Dunkin' gives us the boast that we need. Dunkin' also is bringing joy to kids across the country and the Southern Tier of New York.
In May, we were asked to sip from our hearts on Dunkin' Iced Coffee Day and help bring joy to kids everywhere. I love the concept of fueling my "go" while supporting the children battling illness in our community. It's a win-win for everyone.
I've been fortunate to have three healthy kids that haven't faced any major clinical problems in their lives. It's a comfort to know that there are foundations like Dunkin' Joy in Childhood that support kids when they need it the most.
When kids are battling a severe illness, it brings hardship to everyone involved including their family. It robs the kids the joy of childhood and it's support like this that can help the patients to still be a child.
During Iced Coffee day, Dunkin' raised almost $2 million nationwide to support the various children's hospitals. On Wednesday, August 17th, the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation held an event at the Dunkin' restaurant at 3000 Vestal Parkway in Vestal.
