Our Mission

The Kids 4 Kids Committee of Morristown Memorial Health Foundation encourages children and teenagers to get involved with philanthropy, volunteerism and hands-on activities to benefit Goryeb Children’s Hospital and its patients. Begun by Basking Ridge friends Emily Weber and Katie Curtin, Kids 4 Kids now includes several families with children ages 9 to 17.

We’d love to hear from you if you would like to:

• join our committee,
• volunteer at a Kids 4 Kids-sponsored event,
• suggest fundraising ideas of your own, or
• share stories of what you have done to benefit patients at Goryeb Children’s Hospital.

Please contact Gerri Kling at 973-593-2414 or Geraldine.Kling@atlantichealth.org or reach out to us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=99962804321
