Fill the Cart with Fun!
Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational
By: Amy Gutschewski

The Nationwide Tour Wives Association was honored to partner with the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational tournament staff and the Nationwide Children's Hospital Foundation for the 2010 Fill the Cart with Fun!  Based on the generosity of tournament staff, volunteers, wives, players and the public, a number of items were collected to benefit the Nationwide Children's Hospital. Items included two Wii entertainment systems along with games and accessories for children of all ages, over 100 DVDs, and a number of celebrity autographed items to decorate the teen lounge. The NTWA also donated over 200 pairs of pajamas and slippers for the hospitals "Pajama Club" where every child who is admitted for an overnight stay in the cancer unit is given a new pair of pajamas and a book. These items, along with 500+ items collected at the tournament entrance, made for a truly successful event. The Fill the Cart with Fun! program has grown from year to year and looks to be a part of this tournament for many years to come.   The NTWA is thrilled to help fill a need for the Nationwide Children's Hospital and is excited to continue with this partnership in the future.
