Students Donate to Pediatric Patients- McLaren Northern Michigan
What started as an AP Literature assignment turned into a game-changer for McLaren Northern Michigan pediatric patients. Mikayla Lowell and Eliza Rider raised funds through making and selling friendship bracelets and doing a bike-a-thon from Petoskey to Charlevoix. With the money raised, they purchased two Push Around Buggy Car Wagons for pediatric patients. Children who come to McLaren Northern Michigan for surgery will have the opportunity to be moved from the pre-surgical room to surgery in fun car wagons. Thank you, Mikayla and Eliza, for your generous and thoughtful gift!
