A Success Story: One of our Service Stars

Hatboro-Horsham’s Hentschel tries to spark ‘Change for Children.’ Spark the Wave is proud of Kate Hentschel (Wave Week ’09) for turning her ‘Take Home Project’ from Wave Week into a reality-- “Change for Children.” Kate, a Hatboro-Horsham High School student, started the “Change for Children” fundraiser as a way to fund recreational activities geared toward teens in the hospital’s rehabilitation unit. She is collecting change to effect change in the lives of children and teens staying at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Kate plans to raise money to purchase books, games, DVDs, magazines, CDs, radios and video games to encourage fun and relaxation after patients’ days in rehabilitation.
