Volunteers with the Heroes Foundation Team JOEY Program were blessed to spend time with patients and families who are hospitalized at Ascension Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital this holiday season. We brought special characters to visit patients and LEGO sets for them to build in their hospital room! Please consider donating a LEGO set so we can continue serving Indiana’s youngest cancer patients in 2025. LEGO sets purchased through this Amazon link will ship directly to our team for distribution at our next party! Thank you for your generosity. https://lnkd.in/gHEhixCE Photography courtesy of Karen Kay Marlett Photography, LLC Character costumes courtesy of Indy Characters & More Thank you to these generous volunteers!
