As Rochester’s weather starts to turn cold we are once again partnering with Primetime585 on a Coat and Toy drive!
Golisano Children’s Hospital – Sickle Cell Unit
PrimeTime585 has adopted the Sickle Cell Unit at Golisano Children’s Hospital. Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder that is present at birth. It can be diagnosed in children as young as 6 months old. It is a painful disease that can lead to infection, cause strokes, and can require many blood transfusions. While this unit is serving over 150 children, it wasn’t as well known as others, and therefore wasn’t receiving many donations. Primetime585 is working to change that.
*** Coats and Toys must be new for the hospital. ***
Rochester City Schools
Primetime585 has also adopted 6 city schools, 2 rural schools, and 3 homeless centers which house kids, to provide coats and toys. Gently used coats and new toys are being collected to support families in these under-resourced areas.
