A day of fun in the sun

The MGH Pediatric Oncology Family Advisory Committee and the Pediatric Hematology Oncology Unit at MassGeneral Cancer Care for Children hosted "Fun in the Sun," held Aug. 8 for children who currently are in treatment for cancer and their families. The event, held at the Clubs at Charles River Park, allowed families to enjoy an afternoon barbeque, make their own ice cream sundaes, swim and play games.

"This event was a wonderful opportunity for families going through similar experiences to connect with each other in a relaxed, fun setting," said Elyse Levin-Russman, MSW, LICSW, of MGH Social Services.
