As a niece of one of Bellevue’s Pediatric Clinic Nurse Practitioners, I understood the importance of Children of Bellevue’s mission. Each year at holiday time members of my family and I contribute funds, which are used to meet special needs of clinic patients that arise throughout the year.

After attending some benefit events, I joined Children of Bellevue’s Junior Committee in 2001. I serve on special event committees and volunteer with pediatric patients every few months.

Today, as a veteran of Children of Belleuve’s volunteer corp, I reflect upon what distinguishes my involvement at the Hospital. Volunteering at very large organizations (although they may be worthwhile causes) in my experience has meant simply writing a check. At a smaller organization like Children of Bellevue, the opportunity for repeated contacts with program staff, as well as patients is available. It enables me and other donors/volunteers to truly understand the impact of our dollars.
