MARCH FAMILY EVENT!

Many thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation, Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and our newest Lending Hearts Families!

Although not our usual large group monthly family experience, we had the tremendous opportunity to have Sidney Crosby's suite at the Pittsburgh Penguins game on March 1st for a small group of families selected by our friends in the oncology unit at UPMC Children's Hospital.

It was a wonderful afternoon of welcoming our newest friends to Lending Hearts and cheering on the Pens!

MEET THE GRAY FAMIILY

At the gala each year, we have the great honor of sharing one of our wonderful Lending Hearts families. This year, we are pleased to present the Gray family. We are thankful to the Gray family for opening their hearts and sharing such a personal part of their lives.

Please take a moment to read their family's journey as shared by Bryson's mom, Breanne, HERE!
