For Charlie from Sina

This past Thursday evening, amidst a very loving and appreciative family, CaringOn was privileged to deliver their latest gift to Sina and Charlie Cook. Sina Cook, currently fighting stomach cancer, nominated her loving husband, Charlie, to show her appreciation for his tireless care and attention he has shown her over the course of her treatments. Two of our CaringOn board members, Drew D’Avanzo and Kate Sullivan, worked in consultation with Sina to create the perfect gift for Charlie: This past weekend, Charlie and two guests enjoyed an all-expenses paid day of thrills at Hershey Park ending with a lovely dinner at a local restaurant. They are a special couple and we were honored to facilitate this special show of love and appreciation.
