This past Friday I had the pleasure of being able to assist in a charity benefit for John's Hopkins Children's Center. Giant foodstores have pioneered a great new game called "Triple Winner" in which all proceeds are donated to local children's hospitals. The Giant in Clarksville where the event was held is the leading Giant in Maryland by having contributed the most to Johns Hopkins Children's Center than any other store in the state!
Along with Miss Baltimore and Miss Allegany County, we walked the aisles of Giant speaking of the miracles inspired by the world class doctors at Johns Hopkins. We encouraged people to donate by joining us at the cookout set up outside the store. Hot dogs were grilling, sodas were chilled, and balloons were plenty at our donation station! Among the countless generous donations were the smiles of children walking in and out of the store. Knowing that a child just like them is recieving the vital care they need because of the kindness of a strangers heart is a surreal realization.
