Easter bunny bash

No bunny throws an Easter party quite like Friends! We had the best day at Children’s of Mississippi hosting our Easter Bunny Bash. More than 220 Easter baskets and 1,600 Easter eggs made for some sweet memories! Patients filled their basket with toys and happies, took a photo with the Easter bunny, and participated in our first-ever Easter egg hunt on the Gayle and Tom Benson playground.

We would like to thank our friends at Trustmark for volunteering today–what a team! We were also joined by Miss Mississippi, and we would like to thank Vivian O’Neal for packing baskets and taking photos with patients today. Of all the fun items we had to give away, our hand-painted wooden Easter eggs from Olde Tyme Commissary were a meaningful gift patients can keep for years to come!
