ChildServe

Sometimes you find out things about your community that just makes your heart happy.

Today I was introduced to ChildServe.

ChildServe is a not-for-profit organization that partners with families to help children with special health care needs live a great life. Originally founded in 1928 as a convalescent home for children, today ChildServe provides specialized pediatric health care services to more than 2,500 children in Iowa. Through the support of private insurance, public funds, and the generosity of donors, ChildServe offers accessible, family-centered care unique to each child’s needs, hopes, and dreams.  Website:  ChildServe

You can volunteer or donate to ChildServe.  I encourage you to check out their volunteer site.

I was introduced to ChildServe because of their annual fundraising event - The Bubble Ball.

The Bubble Ball is an annual fundraising event for ChildServe.  The Bubble Ball is a fun and unique event showcasing over 70 designers and their bubble wrap creations.  This year's theme was Walt Disney.  The runway (yes…literally, a runway) held several models dressed in bubble wrap costumes displaying different Disney characters.  One of the designers asked Ballet Des Moines for some dancers (ballerinas) to dance during the runway show…and my daughter was one of those ballerinas.  Next year the date has been set for April 2nd.  Dinner and great entertainment are part of the ticket price.

But best of all… it benefits kids who need the help.

Today I wish you to look around your community and volunteer or donate - to give of yourself.
