“In our giving village of Jacksonville, we have come to know the many opportunities we have to extend a touch for support to our PedsCare families,” said Community PedsCare Director Patrice Austin. “True support comes in many forms. Passionate community support allows Community PedsCare to provide the hands-on, specialized services that families tell us change lives and the outcomes of their children’s journeys. Our partners and friends at the Rotary Club have been a beautiful source of this compassionate giving and without a doubt make an impact on every child in our program.”
