Nu Look Records to Provide “A Day Off” for Hospitalized Children During Kentucky Derby Weekend
Events at Kosair Children’s Hospital and St. Joseph Children’s Home on May 4 and 5 Gives Kids a Day Off from their Worries
(Louisville, KY) – Fighting a life-threatening illness is difficult for anyone to handle, but even more impactful for children who, instead of enjoying the regular bliss of childhood, must instead worry about medication, illness and fighting for their lives. During the 2012 Kentucky Derby Weekend on May 4 and 5, Nu Look Records plans to help uplift the spirits of hospitalized children at Kosair Children’s Hospital and St. Joseph Children’s Home in Louisville, Kentucky. Numerous Nu Look Records volunteers will enjoy fun times, complete with gifts, goodies and games with a group of kids from each hospital.
