Donation to the Casey Cares Foundation

As part of its celebration, KinderMender is also donating $1,000 (the equivalent of 100,000 pennies) to its favorite children’s charity, the Casey Cares Foundation. The Casey Cares Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides uplifting programs with a special touch to critically ill children and their families in the Mid-Atlantic region. 

“We wanted a creative way to share our success with Casey Cares, and we thought, what better way than to donate 100,000 pennies?” said Dr. Rafei.

KinderMender will continue donating to Casey Cares throughout the year as patients contribute their loose change to penny jars located at each of the three locations. 100% of all contributions will be donated to the Casey Cares Foundation.
