For more than 500 Clinic patients who attended the 23rd Annual Patient Holiday Party on Thursday, December 13, the holiday season was made a little brighter with warmth and good cheer.

With the steadfast dedication of Friends Board Member, Marcia Steere, the Patient Holiday Party is always an afternoon enjoyed by all. The many generous in-kind and financial donations from members of the community made an incredible difference in the lives of the adults, teens and children who attended the party. A special thank you to Karl Pettijohn, Martha Henderson, Pam Pierson and Roslyn Boulianne for their continued dedication and support. This year, attendees enjoyed a delicious hot lunch of chicken fried rice donated by Jonathan Chu of Buddha’s Belly, pizza donated by Kathy Fogel and lasagna, salad and rolls donated by Pam Pierson and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. All of the patients who attended went home with essential items, including: warm clothes, toiletries, toys, books and blankets. It was a joyful afternoon full of holiday spirit and cheer.

Thank you again to the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood for hosting the event and to all, especially the hard working volunteers, who helped make this event possible for our patients!
