Feb. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- This year’s check presentation ceremony, hosted by Eve Tannery of WFMZ, will take place at the Preview Party Gala on March 21 at Lehigh University’s Goodman Campus. GLVADA donated a combined total of $50,000 to Good Shepherd in 2010 and 2011.

“Good Shepherd’s Pediatric Unit is able to provide life-changing care for its young patients thanks to the support provided by organizations like GLVADA, ” Sally Gammon, President and CEO of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network said. “The generous donation from GLVADA helps support the care provided to our patients and their family members and helps expand the programs and services provided by the Pediatric Unit.”
