My Three Sons & Cathy’s Castle
62 Wall Street, Kiddytown Bldg.
Norwalk, CT 06850

April 14th, 2011 – 6-8 PM

This will be a private event for Landmark friends & families only. Admission will be a suggested donation of $20/family, and all donations will go to the Casarella family to help with expenses associated with Teresa’s care. Each child will receive unlimited lazer tag, soft-play gym, and ball-adium.

We will also have a bake sale, featuring treats baked by our teachers. All proceeds will go to the Casarella family.

Teresa Casarella has been an Assistant Teacher at Landmark since 2007, and is well-known to our families for her warmth and kindness to our students. After undergoing brain surgery earlier this year, Teresa experienced post-operative complications and is in a coma. She is currently being cared for at Sloan- Kettering Memorial Hospital. 

Many thanks to all of you who have already expressed your care and concern for Mrs. Casarella. Her family has created a webpage to keep us updated on her progress. To visit her website and share your messages of support and check on Teresa, please visit her webpage here.

 

If you are re-locating, or will not be returning next year for other reasons, please contact Kim McElderry who will provide you with the necessary paperwork.

Help children fighting cancer pass the time while receiving chemotherapy and blood transfusions...

 

TeamBrent is collecting new and used Wii games and controllers for the Yale Pediatric Oncology transfusion room.  Thanks to a generous donation, the Yale University Pediatric Department - Hematology/Oncology Section (aka "Dr. Joe's office) has received a Nintendo Wii System for their office.  This game system will be placed in the transfusion room to entertain and engage children as they receive blood transfusions or chemotherapy; which can sometimes take numerous consecutive hours.  Help us turn your new and gently used games/controllers into hours of fun for kids battling cancer.  For your convenience, there will be a donation box located in the Landmark main office during the upcoming weeks. 

 

TeamBrent was created by the McCreesh family,  whose son Brent, a Landmark alumni,  was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at a very young age. Thanks to innovative treatments, Brent is doing well.

 

TeamBrent represents an outpouring of community support for Brent and other childhood cancer patients and survivors, and organizes events in our community to help with this great cause. One of their most popular events is the St. Baldrick’s Day event where volunteers can shave their heads to raise money for cancer research. This year’s event will take place on April 10th at Harbor Yard.  For more information on this worthwhile cause, go to www.teambrent.com
