Harmony from the Heart - Sep 15
Mary and Kai Olsson are pleased to once again host HARMONY FROM THE HEART, a concert fundraiser to benefit the Center for Platelet Research Studies at Boston Children's Hospital, to support the vital research that saved their son's life.
Date: September 15, 2012
Location: The Adirondack Club: Franklin, MA
Boston Children's Hospital provides every kid the best care possible. Children's has been nationally ranked as one of the best pediatric hospitals for almost two decades. They care for more than 500,000 patients every year – many with health problems no other hospital in the world can handle. Every day, the doctors and nurses at Children's combine courage, creativity and compassion to provide life-changing care.
The Olsson's hope you will consider supporting Harmony from the Heart's fundraising efforts for not only the kids at Children's, but for all who will benefit from this vital research.
