14 You know those Nantucket Red shirts and white shorts are just dying to have one last run before being stashed in the closet for winter! So don those duds and come out on September 19, 2015 to the 6th Annual Ultimate Lawn Party featuring Croquet to benefit pediatric programs at South Shore Hospital! We call it the ULTIMATE LAWN PARTY for a reason – cocktails, wine and beer, breathtaking views of the Atlantic from a private home in Cohasset and great people-watching. Oh and CROQUET! You would never think a Victorian lawn game could be so much fun—but it is! Gather your friends together, get a babysitter (if applicable), and make some new friends while supporting a great cause! And no croquet experience, or even a drop of athletic ability, is necessary. Tickets are $75 each. Go to southshorehospital.org/events or call 781-624-4050 or 781-624-4170 to purchase tickets or to make a donation. This event is sponsored by the members of the LINKS (Leaders Involving a New Kind of Support) group, many of whom have had their children at South Shore Hospital and continue to utilize pediatric services as their children grow. This group champions the support of critical pediatric services, including Neonatal Intensive Care, Pediatric Specialty Clinics and a 24/7 Pediatric Emergency Department, at South Shore Hospital. Most recently, their efforts have provided: sleeper chairs for parents who are staying overnight with a sick child, a hearing screener for the hospital's newborns, stock a toy chest annually for kids who are at the hospital, and helped to fund the new webcams in the NICU and Special Care Nursery. They also host educational events for the community with guest speakers and behind the scenes tours of clinical areas in the hospital. The LINKS group is an affinity group of The Friends of South Shore Hospital, a network of dedicated individuals with a common commitment to support and promote the community-based mission of South Shore Hospital. Members of the Friends consist of individuals who support the Hospital's critical role in the community, those who have a special connection with a particular program area, as well as leaders from the Hospital's professional staff. Friends bring their experiences and perspectives together to advance the good health of the region by coordinating a spectrum of volunteer activities driven by the membership; including community outreach and educational programs, fundraising events and social opportunities.
