BHS Honors Society Auction Aides Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

With good cause, March 18, 2011 was a proud day for the Brookfield High School (BHS) National Honor Society (NHS) members who raised $3,430 to help support Danbury Hospital’s new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

As members of Danbury Hospital’s Kids Care Club, these spirited and selfless students spent many tireless hours planning a well-executed and exciting event for the community.

Sponsored annually by the NHS, “” encourages its members to collectively organize every detail of its auction, including: soliciting donations for the complimentary dinner; babysitting for attendees; soliciting local businesses for auction items; decorating; and publicizing the event. Their hard work and dedication culminated in a very generous gift that will help provide families whose babies must stay in the NICU with a comfortable, private, state-of-the-art environment in which to welcome their newborns into the world.

Thanks to the Brookfield NHS for this selfless and grand gesture!

Danbury Hospital’s Kids Care Club encourages children up to age 18 to make a donation in support of the Department of Pediatrics. Children make donations in many ways:

• ask friends and family for donations;
• organize penny drives, lemonade stands or other events;
• raise funds in lieu of gifts at birthday party; or
• donate a portion of allowance.

Donations help purchase toys, videos/movies, video games and systems and more to make a child’s hospital stay more comfortable.
