It has been a privilege to witness this team's giving spirit up close and personal and to see the impact they have made in Phoenix with so many hospitalized children and their families."

After a special delivery to the hospital, free of charge, by Two Men and a Truck of Scottsdale, Renewal by Andersen and Cheeriodicals representatives began handing out the boxes to patient families at the hospital.

"We are excited to have Cheeriodicals and Renewal by Andersen supporting our patients and families," said Jenni Rogers, Manager of Child Life Services at Phoenix Children's.
