KIDO honored by Regional Hospice's Healing Hearts Center

A group of Newtown middle schoolers have been honored for their work helping others.  The newly appointed executive director of the Regional Hospice Foundation, Paul Sirois, helped recognize seven Eighth Graders with youth service awards at their annual meeting earlier this month.  They were honored for their fundraising efforts on behalf of the organization.

 

The seven Newtown KIDOs have pledged to raise $50,000 to pay for the playground equipment that will be placed outside the wing that houses Healing Hearts Center for Grieving Children and Families. The first $24,000 was raised by the KIDO founder, Ryan Patrick, who sold wrist bands last winter.  KIDO stands for Kids In Deed Organization.

 

The total is now nearly $28,000.

 

A large granite paving stone emblazoned with a colorful replica of their KIDO’s logo has been placed in the children’s garden at the new facility.  Patrick was offered the naming rights of the playground
