A BIG THANK YOU to all who participated in the Summer Serves volleyball tournament benefiting CMN!

Last school year, West Brook junior Zain Sayyed and senior Raj Patel hosted a Kicks for Kids soccer tournament in April at the Cris Quinn Indoor Soccer Complex. With the participation of over 10 teams and 110 passionate players, this event raised an outstanding $2,165 for the Children’s Miracle Network at CHRISTUS Southeast Texas.

Inspired by the success of Kicks for Kids, Zain and Raj decided to continue their mission. They organized a thrilling double elimination sand volleyball tournament at the Beaumont Municipal Athletic Complex, featuring 12 amazing teams from the Beaumont/Port Arthur area.

These two young champions went above and beyond, securing sponsorships from generous partners like Sam’s Club, Exygon Health & Fitness, Pinnacle Physical Therapy, and Vidor Advanced Dental. Their dedication and hard work shone brightly, making Summer Serves a resounding success! Zain and Raj, along with all participants – raised an impressive $1,900 during Summer Serves, bringing their total contribution to CMN to a remarkable $4,065!

To Zain and Raj, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your unwavering support and dedication have made an immeasurable impact on the lives of children in SETX. We can’t wait to see the incredible things you both will achieve in your future endeavors!

And to all the participants, sponsors, and supporters, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your enthusiasm and generosity have driven this incredible event’s success, and we look forward to continuing this journey together!

In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, it’s heartwarming to witness individuals who go above and beyond to make a positive impact on the lives of others. One such individual, Caitlin Good, a Registered Vascular Technologist at CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth Outpatient Pediatric Pavilion (OPP), is spreading kindness and joy in our pediatric unit, leaving a trail of smiles among young patients and their families.

Coloring Books for Compassion

Caitlin’s journey of spreading joy began with a simple yet impactful idea – creating coloring books for the children at the pediatric unit. These coloring books weren’t just ordinary ones; they were thoughtfully designed to captivate the imaginations of young minds and bring endless hours of creative joy. The pages are filled with enchanting illustrations, from whimsical animals to magical landscapes and everything in between.

But Caitlin’s kindness didn’t stop there. She took it a step further by generously donating these coloring books to the pediatric unit. These acts of generosity and compassion instantly brightened up the young patients’ days, offering a temporary escape from the challenges they face.

A Bigger Impact on the Horizon

While Caitlin’s coloring books have already made a significant impact, she’s now taking her mission of spreading joy even further. Throughout the month of August, for every coloring book sold, Caitlin is donating $1 back to Children’s Miracle Network (CMN). This initiative adds another layer of positivity to her already inspiring efforts. By purchasing a coloring book, you not only support Caitlin’s compassionate endeavor but also contribute to a greater cause, helping CMN in its mission to provide critical medical care to children in need.
