Jaylen Lussier, who has been selling lemonade all summer to raise funds for Boston Children’s Hospital, turned in an impressive $2195.00.
The Fairhaven ten-year-old traveled up to BCH on October 8, to present the traditional over-sized check to the hospital, get a tour, play a game live on the BCH “Seacrest Studios” (a radio studio by Ryan Seacrest), and get interviewed on the BCH station, which ran live on the hospital televisions.
The money was donated to the hospital with no restrictions to help children have a better stay at the hospital.
Jaylen’s father, Jarrod, said the money will be used for departments like Seacrest Studios that provide children opportunities to “play games, have fun, and maintain some sort of normalcy in their lives,” he wrote in an email. “It is also used to assist families whose children stay at the hospital for extended periods of time.” •••
