Second Annual K.I.D.'s Day New England
The day concluded when all joined together in song
led by Dr. Raif Geha, Chief of Boston Children's Hospital, Division of Immunology. The song, "You've Got a Friend" seemed especially appropriate for this very special occasion. 
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon in June, the second New England K.I.D.'s Day was held at the
spacious Prouty Garden outside Children's Hospital. The day featured a carnival theme with "Joe" the roving juggler, magician, puppeteer, a face-painting clown and lively music by Okedoke Karaoke (who
generously donated part of their time). The children played some games with a parachute, ran a sack race and danced the limbo. The event was sponsored by pharmaceutical giants Baxter, Caremark,
Centeon, Coram Health Care and Novartis. 
Each family went home with
T-shirts and a bag full of goodies. The day is so important because it brings children with Primary Immune Deficiencies together. In fact, one child asked his mom "do you mean to tell me all of these kids get
IV's? WOW!" Once again, Stan and Nancy Graziano through their superb leadership put this whole day together inspiring families to help and encourage one another
