The Foundation for Life is supported by the
employees of Barnum Financial Group, an office of MetLife.
First Niagara Bank sponsored three
hours of free play for the selected children and families including mini golf,
laser tag, bowling and batting cages.
At the end of the event, The
Foundation for Life surprised each child with a brand-new bicycle.
Team members from Griffin Hospital’s Community
Outreach Department and “Safe Kids Greater Naugatuck Valley” program were on
hand to give out free helmets to each of the children, and to teach them how to
properly adjust the helmets for maximum safety while riding.
