In addition, (as a tradition), there are always terrific prize giveaways, face painting, refreshments and much more; because of the generous support of sponsors & volunteers.

Over the years he enlisted the aid of Rotary, many local businesses, and volunteers to fund, facilitate and diversify this project. To date, major sponsors are the Wallingford Rotary & the GE Volunteers, rallied by Rodney Ward. The event is modeled from a program initiated by the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute and New England Medical Center, Boston, MA. For more information, to make a donation, or to get involved as a volunteer, contact Rotarian Co-Chair, Adrian Eisler ( ) and / or GE Co-Chair Rodney Ward at ( ). ~ Go Wallingford! ### Submitted In Service, L.M.
