BBCH License Plate

Posted by Sarah Curley on May 24, 2017

Today’s speaker was Matt Parks from The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. Matt heads up the fundraising for the only children’s hospital in Maine. They are trying to get a specialty plate for the Hospital. They need 2,000 people committed to purchasing the plate by October 1^st before it will go through. The initial cost is $25.00 with an annual renewal fee of $15.00. For each new plate ordered, or for each renewal, $10.00 of the cost will go directly to the children’s hospital! This program will continue as long as the state of Maine requires vehicles to have license plates. His group is estimating that this fundraiser could bring in $200,000 or more each year that will go directly to the hospital for much needed equipment. Please spread the word! Matt provided posters to hang in businesses as well as postcards that can be handed out. You can also sign up on-line at BBCH.ORG/Licenseplate. You can keep the same number that you already have. You will just have a different backdrop.

Your purchase helps kids like Jerzey:

Jerzey was born with Bicoronal Craniosynotosis, a genetic condition in which the joints or sutures between the plates of the skull fuse too early during a child’s development. At four months, Jerzey had her first surgery at The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital to help her skull grow normally. “We cannot express how grateful we are to the doctors and nurses for their love and support through such a difficult time,” said her mom, Cheyenne. “We could not have done it without them.” Today, Jerzey is a healthy two year old who loves playing with her two big brothers, jumping in puddles and wearing purple!
