Last month, Advisory Board member Bill Boone announced he would personally match up to $26,000 to bring Periwinkle closer to our 40th Anniversary Gala goal. We are pleased to announce that we have hit our goal of raising over $650,000! Bill has been a steadfast supporter of Periwinkle for twenty plus years, and his dedication has made a significant impact on our community of healing. Thank you, Bill, for all your work leading this charge. We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for The Periwinkle Foundation. We also want to thank everyone who donated to help us reach our goal. With your help, Periwinkle can continue to provide the very best programming for children, teens, and families battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses at Texas Children’s Hospital.
