Young Entrepreneurs Raise Money For Our Pediatric Unit

Two young entrepreneurs ran sold baked goods during their garage sale in June to benefit children who stay at St. Elizabeth Medical Center. They raised $67 selling chocolate chip cookies and three kinds of muffins. Their mother, Brenda Fancett of Sauquoit, matched their gift.

“Isaiah and Emilie chose St. Elizabeth's children because Isaiah said Sue Cooper was so nice to him when he had his surgeries and they both adore Dr. Chahfe,” Ms. Fancett said. “Isaiah said, ‘I need to give back.’ ”

Isaiah is 9 years old and Emilie is age 6. The Fancetts met St. Elizabeth’s Pediatric Nurse Manager, Karen Coyle, to deliver their generous donation. Ms. Coyle will use the funds to buy infant clothing to help out families of the Medical Center’s youngest patients.
