On Tuesday, November 4^th, Guida’s Dairy presented a check for $11,250 to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center at their recently relocated Primary Care Center located at 76 New Britain Avenue.  SUPERCOW, Guida’s Dairy’s mascot, attended the event handing out presents and smiles to the children who were present.  The main facility of the Connecticut Children's Medical Center is a nationally recognized, 187-bed not-for-profit children's hospital serving as the primary teaching hospital for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.  SUPERCOW makes regular visits to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center to cheer up children and their families throughout the year.

In addition, BIAC works to reduce both the number and the severity of brain injuries by increasing public awareness and understanding through outreach and educational opportunities.
