An Evening with Amy Silverstein, author of My Glory Was I Had Such Friends

On February 28th, the Boston Children’s Hospital League was honored to welcome author Amy Silverstein to speak to a sold out crowd of League supporters. Amy is the author of My Glory Was I Had Such Friends – a book about the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit. As Amy waited for her second heart transplant, her friends banded together, made cross-country trips to her hospital bed and supported Amy through the months of pain and patience. As Amy told her story, with emphasis on the strength of her friendships as well as her own enduring spirit, there was not a dry eye in the room. Thank you, Amy, for sharing your intimate story and for celebrating the power of female friendships.

“We were grown daughters all, some mothers of high school or college kids, a few of us seasoned career women. We had become our middle-aged selves. Our wisest, steadiest, most powerful selves yet. And we discovered a new best in ourselves together because I was dying, really dying this time, and we weren’t twenty-five anymore.”

On May 12, 2017, the League hosted “Cocktails and Cards” a casino night event to benefit the hospital. Belmont Country Club was turned into a lively casino as league members and many new friends & guests enjoyed gambling, delicious food and cocktails. The event also featured a sizable raffle with fantastic prizes totaling $8,000 in worth. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about our organization and all that we do to support the children and families treated at the hospital. The event raised more than $15,000 and we hope to continue the tradition next year!

Family Day 2017

League members volunteered at Boston Children’s Hospital on Sunday, April 23rd to create a fun day for patients and their families. The kids painted pottery, decorated cupcakes and cookies, made paper flowers, got their faces painted, had a dance party and magic show, took pictures in the photo booth, laughed with the clowns, visited with a beautiful dog and left with a brand new Red Sox hat! Congratulations to Susan Rosenberg, Marla Stone and Lisa Jarosz for a wonderful job chairing this fun event!

Cycling for BCHL

CycleBar in Wellesley was the place to be on Thursday night, April 8th, when 35 riders took their seats to raise $1800 for the Boston Children’s Hospital League. There was an 80’s theme ride lead by Neal Shrier, spin instructor extraordinaire, and a great deal of energy in the room. After the class, the riders gathered for a party in the lobby of CycleBar and food was donated by The Local. It was a great night for a great cause!

Clowning Around

BCHL Members were delighted to celebrate the Clown Care Unit for Boston Children’s Hospital on Thursday, March 30th. League members spent the morning shadowing the clowns as they worked their magic on the Oncology floor bringing laughter and smiles to the children and their families. Thank you to the entire clown care unit for all that you do. We, at The Boston Children’s Hospital League, are so thrilled to be your biggest supporters since day one, over 21 years ago!
