We would like to say “Thank you” to all our volunteers. 
Saturday was truly an awesome day. It showed how the Villanova community cares about those less fortunate than we.
We could not have done it without your help!

Birthing beds, basinets, and infant monitors came from Lansdale Hospital, while OBGYN exam tables came from the Lower Bucks County Hospital in Bristol, PA.
