Gala Recap

 

A great time was had by all at the RMH Providence Gala on November 3....especially our guest of honor, Adrian Ovalles (posing on the red carpet).
 
The Ocean House served as the perfect backdrop for this elegant evening. 
 
We thank all who donated their time and services. Through this great collaboration, we raised over $65,000 to support the programs at RMH Providence.
 
Photos from the event are available and free to download thanks to Amy Martira.
 
Plans are soon to be underway for the RMH Gala, 2013.  If you would like to be on the planning committee or are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact Nicole Anderson or Jill Precopio.
Little Philanthropist

5 year old Marianne DeVoe and mom, Jennie, stopped by the House recently with a special gift. In lieu of birthday gifts, Marianne received donations for the House. 
 
Between October 5, 2007 and July 16, 2008, the DeVoe Family, including Mom, Dad and Marianne's older brother and sister, called RMH Providence "HOME". As Marianne remained in both Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island and Hasbro Children's Hospital for 299 days, each member of her family celebrated birthdays at their "special table" here in our kitchen. 
 
The DeVoe family is thankful for the time they spent at the House, but even more thankful to celebrate Marianne's birthday at home.
 
If you have a  "Little Philanthropist"  you feel deserves recognition, please share their story.
Holiday Party

    

The House bustled with activity on December 2.  The Holiday Carols provided by the Cumberland Clef Singers and great food prepared by Johnson & Wales filled the House with joyful sounds and delightful scents.

 

After stopping at the ever-famous cookie table, many bright-eyed little ones headed up to Santa's Workshop and took their picture with Jolly Old St. Nick.   

 

Thank you to all the helpers led by Peg Hurson who once again, made this Holiday party a magical experience for many.

Social Media
 
Thank you, Denise Batson for leaving the following post on our Facebook page. 
 
"I always ask people to donate to your charity instead of getting me a Christmas gift. I have seen first hand the type of aid you give to the parents of sick children at Rhode Island hospital. I knew two people who stayed there while their sick children were in the NICU and you did everything you could for their family. ❤"
