NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — On Monday, June 17 from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m., musician Anne Wilson will host a painting event for kids who are patients at Monroe Carrell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
Wilson is hanging out with patients, who will all get to participate in a paint-by-numbers activity — they can paint their own Dunkin' donut or be creative and make their own paint by numbers canvas.
The event is meant to bring joy to the kids in the hospital with art therapy, as well as raise awareness of Dunkin's annual Iced Coffee Day fundraiser, June 20. Every iced coffee sold on the 20 takes one dollar and gives it to the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation's mission to bring joy to kids battling illnesses in local hospitals.
You can learn more about their cause on their website.
Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
