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.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
