(Corpus Christi, TX)Driscoll Children’s Hospital Development Foundation is proud to announce the unveiling and dedication of a Donor Wall of Honor on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 in the main entrance of Driscoll Children’s Hospital at 10:00 a.m. “It has been a long-time dream to establish a Wall of Honor to appropriately recognize and acknowledge significant donors for their generous financial support of the hospital,” says Martha St. Romain, Vice President of Development.

In addition to publicly honoring and thanking donors, the Wall of Honor, designed by Susan Castor and Metal Décor, represents the community spirit of giving that it takes to sustain a children’s hospital. Donors’ names will be added annually and will remain permanently on the Wall of Honor. “Driscoll Children’s Hospital is here because of the vision of Clara Driscoll and the generous hearts of many groups and individuals that support our mission to serve the children of South Texas. The Wall of Honor is an expression of Driscoll’s sincere appreciation of our significant donors,” says Steve Woerner, President and CEO of Driscoll Children’s Hospital.
