During the last month of school, Seacrest Country Day School students from Naples created their own fundraising efforts and purchased 135 boxes of children's character-themed band-aids to help bring smiles to the kids at the clinic. That's about 3,000 band-aids!! Not many people know that about 40% of the kids that go to the Barbara's Friends clinic are from Collier county.Usually every time a child goes to the Barbara's Friends clinic and the oncology inpatient unit, they have to be poked to draw blood or to receive medicine and fluids. These band-aids bring a smile to the kids at the end of their visit and that was the goal of the Seacrest students. The kids love to pick from Hello-Kitty and Barbie to Handy Manny and Batman! It makes their day. Thank You to Seacrest students from all of the kids, families, doctors, nurses, and staff!!
