Giving at Christmas time: Sloan Kettering, St. Judes, Miami Children's Hospital.. I sponsor these three hospitals and I've been contributing to St. Judes for years. When you have had a child that has undergone a cancer scare as I had with my own son 5 years ago, you step back and reflect. St. Judes takes any child, no matter if the parents can pay or not. They don't ask you see your insurance first thing and they don't deny parents accommodation. About 50% of children coming to St. Judes, ultimately pass away, but 50% of children go on to live healthy lives. 10 years ago, 90% of children coming to St. Judes died.

I remember as a child, my dad worked in New York Hospital in Manhatten and Sloan Kettering was on the same block. I volunteered there as a candy stripper eons ago as a teenager and the memories never leave me of the work that is done at that fantastic place.

Miami Children's Hospital is where my own son underwent surgery 5 years ago. The worst scenario did not take place, but the many hours of waiting and thinking the worst was enough to change me. I'm not sure that if I hadn't had this close call, I would feel this need to give something back, I hope so. Anyhow every year I go down with Roy and we bring christmas gifts to the Oncology unit there. We also bring a gifts to "The Haven" a center for abused children that is located in Boca Raton. Roy and I go to Toys 'R Us and we choose gifts for the kids. It's a wonderful thing to share with your kids.
