OrangeYaGlad? Announces Children's National Hospital as Beneficiary

OrangeYaGlad? (OYG?), a community based organization committed to highlighting everyday heroes (regular people putting their talents and resources to use, making a meaningful impact in a world that is hurting), is pleased to announce our first charitable beneficiary -- Children's National Hospital, the leading pediatric health system in the Washington, D.C., area.

Money raised by OrangeYaGlad? will be donated toward Children's National's COVID-19 Emergency Action Fund and used toward screening patients with symptoms at a walk-up/drive-up testing site and an urgent response tent outside of their hospital; providing PPE to the caregivers who are serving on the front lines every day; expanding their telehealth options for families (so they can call in rather than going to hospitals and risking exposure) and will support providers by addressing personal needs like child care and transportation so they can keep providing the care that so many need right now.

OrangeYaGlad? (https://teamoyg.com/) states their goal is spreading positivity in such an uncertain and unsettling time. OYG?'s founder, Todd Mercer, says "OYG? Is so excited to be working with Children's National. We wanted to find a beneficiary on the frontlines combatting COVID-19 and are moved by all of the important work Children's is doing."

Children's National Hospital, based in Washington, D.C., celebrates 150 years of pediatric care, research and commitment to community. Volunteers opened the hospital in 1870 with 12 beds to care for Civil War orphans. Today, 150 years stronger, it is the nation's No. 6 children's hospital. It is ranked No. 1 for newborn care for the third straight year and ranked in all specialties evaluated by "U.S. News & World Report." Children's National is transforming pediatric medicine for all children. In 2020, it will open the Children's National Research & Innovation Campus, the first in the nation dedicated to pediatric research. It has been designated twice as a Magnet® hospital, demonstrating the highest standards of nursing and patient care delivery. This pediatric academic health system offers expert care through a convenient, community-based primary care network and specialty outpatient centers in the D.C., metropolitan area, including the Maryland and Northern Virginia suburbs. Children's National is home to the Children's National Research Institute and Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation and is the nation's seventh-highest NIH-funded children's hospital. It is recognized for its expertise and innovation in pediatric care and as a strong voice for children through advocacy at the local, regional and national levels.

OYG? has three primary objectives:

Spread positivity. Negative thoughts tend to breed more negative thoughts, and it becomes easier and easier to get stuck in a dark place. But the opposite is also true. The more we can immerse ourselves in positivity, the more it can radiate out and help others move out of their darkness.

Bring attention to people in our world who are doing remarkable things. A truly altruistic person is probably not seeking any sort of recognition, but that is all the more reason to bring their stories to light.

Raise money for good causes.
