We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. We are excited for 2024 and are looking forward to growing our Parent Plate Program at Yale Children’s Hospital as well as expanding to other hospitals.
Happy New Year!
We have a few updates we want to share.
First, we had a tentative start date of 1/1/2024 for the Parent Plate Program on the hematology/oncology floor at Yale Children’s. With the holiday season, and the recent change of the hospital’s food service provider, this date has been pushed back for later in the month. While we are disappointed with this development, we realize there are a lot of moving pieces and multiple parties involved. We hope the slight delay will ensure a smooth roll out for the families the Parent Plate Program will support.
Second, we are very excited for our virtual golf event. The “Feeding Families Foundation’s Winter Virtual Golf Classic: Fore! Parents of Hospitalized Children” is scheduled for Saturday, January 20, 2024, at Golf Cove in North Haven. Teams of at least 4 players will play 9-hole scramble. Tickets for golfers are $100 per person. Tickets for supporters not playing in the event are $65 per person. There are general sponsorship opportunities for businesses, as well as sponsorship opportunities of each golf room which can be decorated by the sponsor. There will be an open bar and appetizers for the duration of the event, as well as a 50/50 raffle, and silent auction.
Third, we are in the early stages of planning additional events including a golf tournament, hike for hunger, and our first annual gala. Keep an eye out for updates!
Thank you again for all of your support in 2023. We look forward to making 2024 another successful year!
