Companies join forces to bring joy to patients of noted Minnesota children's hospital.

Northwestern Mutual - Managing Partner, Tim Bohannon and his team will join with Cheeriodicals to bring cheer in the form of 170 big green boxes to children fighting childhood cancer and other diseases at the St. Paul campus of Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota on April 4, 2014. Cheeriodicals are big green boxes of cheer made up of age-appropriate magazines, toys, puzzles, crafts and goodies for children to enjoy.

"We are so excited to have Northwestern Mutual and Cheeriodicals visit Children's - St. Paul today," said Barbie Hentges, Corporate Development Officer at Children's of Minnesota. "We sincerely appreciate Northwestern Mutual for sponsoring this day of smiles. All of our patients will be thrilled to receive such special and fun gifts."

"We're excited to work with Northwestern Mutual to bring smiles to every child at Children's," said Gary Parisher, president of Cheeriodicals. "Nothing we do matters more than our efforts in children's hospitals. The boxes are tailored to either boys or girls as well as organized by specific age groups. They are sure to bring joy to the young patients and even include a few surprises for the parents."

"As a father of two, I can't imagine the heartache of seeing your child in pain as they battle childhood cancer," said Bohannon. "Our hope is that by bringing a smile to the child, we can bring a smile to the entire family."

Contributing to this day of smiles, Burnsville Two Men and a Truck, specializing in residential and commercial moves, donated their time and services to transport the 170 Cheeriodicals to Children's.
