Sold-Out Clinics Can Help Luncheon Raises

Thousands To Bring Vitally Needed Cribs To Parents,

Helps Reach Year’s Goal Of 1,000 Donated Cribs

Nestled in the heart of Palm Beach,
a sold-out event unfolded to benefit
families in the community with a
common goal in mind: ensuring
newborns and infants have a safe place
to dream at night. The event was best
described as dreamy at The Colony
Hotel where distinguished actress and
author Tina Sloan shared inspirational
stories about her life among the
whimsical decor that made attendees
feel as if they were floating through a
peaceful child’s nursery.
With a mission to safely distribute
more than 1,000 cribs for newborns
and infants this year, Clinics Can Angela Reynolds, Juliette Emily Pantelides and Bethany
Help (CCH) hosted the first of its Louis Sharp Ilan Kaufer, Dr. Tamara Mays, Karen Holloway, Chelsea Reed, Gary Lesser
kind luncheon to directly benefit their
C.R.I.B.S. Project (Cribs R for Infant Baby Safety). Sharing a
room, not a bed, has been reported by the American Academy
of Pediatricians to decrease the chance of Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome (SIDS) by 50 percent, but not everyone has
access to this vital resource for newborns, as noted by CCH
CEO Owen O’Neill.
“We are so grateful for everyone who came out to support
such an important cause today,” O’Neill remarked. “Cribs are
a basic necessity that unfortunately many parents lack proper
access to. Together, we are able to raise funds and awareness
for this need and I’m excited to report that we’re on track to
exceed our annual 1,000 crib goal.”
Holding a longstanding commitment to increasing access
to health equity in Palm Beach County, CCH has successfully Natalie Chafin, Lindsey Jaclyn Goode, Catherine Jenna Kuskin, Jillian
