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.
Recently while home sick, I got to watch the news just like you — a viewer! And I have to brag on my co-workers. Not only are they great people and journalists, but they are also tremendous advocates. Look no further than the recent reporting by Amanda Roberts and Jennifer Kraus. This kind of reporting takes dogged commitment. To us, it's always more than a story; this is our home too.
