Niswonger Children's Hospital License Tag Program

Dear Community,

Let me say “Thank you” for the many ways you support Niswonger Children’s Hospital!   Did you know that the proceeds from the Niswonger Children’s Hospital license plates supports programming at the Niswonger Children’s Hospital surgery center? Thanks to last year’s Niswonger Children’s Hospital license tag sales, more than $2,300 was raised to stock the toy room in the Niswonger Children’s Hospital surgery center to help cheer up young surgery patients.

“We allow each child to choose a toy after surgery,” said Chana Kirby, nurse manager of the pre- and post-operative areas at Niswonger. “We tell them ahead of time that they will get a prize, so they have something to look forward to while they’re getting ready for their procedure. It helps to take their mind off any worries they might have and eases the process for them.”

The toys encompass all age groups, from babies to teenagers. Since older patients might not be interested in dolls or Lego blocks, the toy room also includes iTunes gift cards and craft kits.

Unfortunately, our program is in jeopardy, and we need your help. We need at least 100 new Niswonger Children’s Hospital license plates issued by the end of June. Without this support, we will lose our Scrubs the Bear specialty license plate! Please consider signing up for a Niswonger Children’s Hospital license plate, and help spread the word in your community.

If you have a tag and renew your tag, that counts as well.  Feel free to forward this appeal to your friends, fellow club members, etc who may be supportive of our need.  We are so blessed to have Niswonger Children’s Hospital serving the children of this entire region and want to proudly promote the facility while putting the money to good use!

Thanking you in advance,

Patricia Holtsclaw
