Community raises money for kids at Mass General
Pollack thanks those involved for success
Children at Massachusetts General Hospital are benefitting from the efforts of Andover residents and businesses, and 2009 Andover High School graduate Wendy Pollack wants to thank those who made a difference.
At the beginning of the summer, several lines of headpieces were included in Andover Youth Services Keep it Wild fashion show. Local residents sponsored the hats, with the money going to Child Life Services at Mass General. Specifically, the money is helping to provide items for Ellison 18, a pediatric floor that treats patients up to the age of 19 for a variety of ailments.
"The tremendous success of the Keep It Wild Fashion Show Fundraiser, Stands up to Cancer, this past June was due to the generous contribution of Amy Borges and Anthony Devito from Indra Salon, who designed hair and makeup for the models; Roseanne and David Palazola and Phyllis Lanciani for their generous donation to the silent auction items; Marc Savard and The Boston Bruins Foundation and Jordans Furniture," according to Pollack.
She said it was a pleasure to work with Suzie Allen and Bill Fahey of Andover Youth Services and she was grateful for the time spent making cancer bracelets by Carolina Zappala, a Central Catholic sophomore.
"To all of the Andover residents, my family and friends who generously donated to support MGH Child Life Services, and for all who attended and cut their hair in awarenesss to childhood cancer diseases the night of the event, thanks so much," said Pollack. "To my models, you were great."
