What do you get when you combine chocolate, graham crackers and toasted marshmallows? 🏕️🍫 The ultimate campfire classic — and a whole lot of gooey goodness!

Thanks for your help in making these special camp-time moments happen!

With the help of our friends at Greenland Homes, trim carpenters Joe Smith, Jeremiah Barnett, and Brock Wolf created a new End of Treatment Bell for Blank Children's Hospital's pediatric oncology department. When a child reaches the end of their treatment, they ring the bell to share the sound of hope with others on their journey. This tradition honors the courage and resilience of every child as they reach a hopeful milestone. We are so grateful to the folks who made this possible!
