Hi Joe,
My son Griffin started a fundraising campaign last year to benefit Boston Children’s Hospital, as a way to give back for the exceptional care he received there during two successful surgeries. This year, he has partnered with the Boston Bruins Foundation, the Corey C. Griffin NHL Pro-Am Alumni Tournament, and Bruins Alumni, and he has raised his personal fundraising goal to $3,000. Hoping you can put a link up on GMG to help raise money and awareness. Griffin is also coordinating a charity open skate for Christmas week, where all proceeds will go to Children’s Hospital. Last year Rick Middleton was kind enough to attend and give his support. More info will follow as we get closer to the event.

Boston Children’s Hospital is ranked #1 on U.S. News and World Report’s Best Children’s Hospitals honor roll. More than offering great care, the hospital is known for its commitment to the Boston community—serving as the largest provider of health care to low-income children in our state. The hospital is also home to the world’s largest research center at a pediatric hospital, making discoveries that benefit both children and adults. Just one area of research we’re leading: concussions and injury prevention. Children’s Sports Concussion Clinic is a national leader in understanding and treating pediatric concussions, with a multidisciplinary research team and a clinical setting that receives more than 350 patient visits each month. Philanthropic support will advance critical research into this skyrocketing problem.
Thanks,
Andre
