Browne Academy’s Student Council Association recently spearheaded a community-wide service project to stock Dr. Bear’s Closet at Children’s National Medical Center. Dr. Bear’s Closet accepts donations including toys, books, games, clothing and gift cards to bring joy and some normalcy to children who are hospitalized.

Thanks to the generosity of Browne’s families, the SCA collected more than 200 gifts and delivered them to the hospital, spreading some cheer to families who need it most. SCA President Rania Beidas was grateful for the community’s contributions to the drive.

“I am so glad that we made a huge impact and that the kids will have items to make them happy while they are going through hard times. Thank you to everyone for their support,” Beidas said.
