Make a Difference to Children Month: Patient Becomes the King of Pop for 7th Birthday
National Make a Difference to Children Month is a time when we show our appreciation for the children in our lives by making a positive impact. Whether it’s volunteering our time with community organization that supports local youth, or sharing special gifts with our own children, we strive to make kids feel cherished.
