The Children’s Workshop Students Raise $700 for Coins for Cures

The students at The Children’s Workshop, a local child provider on Cedar Swamp Road in Smithfield, teamed up with Coins for Cures to raise funds for Boston Children’s Hospital. The kids emptied out their piggy banks and dug through the couch cushions to raise $723.58 in pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters for Boston Children’s Hospital.

 “Coins for Cures is a great way to get our children involved in a community project,” said Kelli Didomenico, Director of Parent and Community Relations at The Children’s Workshop. Coins for Cures is a fundraising program run by Children's Hospital Trust, which promotes philanthropic engagement to support Boston Children's Hospital and advance its missions of patient care, research, education and community service.

“They are so excited to help other kids that are sick, and they quickly learn that if everyone gives just a little bit, it adds up and can really make a difference,” Didomenico said.

The Children’s Workshop supports more than 1,500 children and their families every day.
