Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center’s (CDTC) Sunflower Circle of Friends hosted a special appreciation reception on Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at The Wasie Villa for over fifty of its long time friends. The event was an opportunity for members to thank volunteers and donors who have helped the Sunflower Circle of Friends raise thousands of dollars to support the Center through special projects.
In 2010, the Sunflower Circle of Friends contributed over $20,000 to support CDTC’s Primary Care Clinic, provided 1,000 teenagers and moms with holiday gifts, created welcome bags for hundreds of new families to help keep their children healthy, stocked and maintained the Food Pantry, and assisted in Center-wide events such as the Back to School Drive, Kids to Camp initiative, and Thanksgiving Basket Brigade.
“It was a wonderful opportunity to thank a very special group of donors who have remained faithful to the work done by CDTC,” said Susie Perlman, President of the Sunflower Circle of Friends.
The Sunflower Circle of Friends is a support group of volunteers dedicated to raising awareness of the mission of CDTC and increasing volunteer support for its Medical and Family services. Founded in 2004, Sunflower has grown from 18 to over 100 members.
