From YouTube: Assistance from Anna - The Story of Anna's Pals
Description
It doesn't take a lot to make someone's day a little better. That's been the mantra of Anna's Pals, a non-profit organization that donates funds to childhood cancer research, as well as programs to improve the quality of life for hospitalized children and their families. In this story, we talk to the folks who created Anna's Pals, learn how it's connected with Boston Latin School and Boston Children's Hospital, and the impact it's making on pediactric care.

Know
we
just
figured
that
this
was
the
cause
that
we
wanted
to
rally
around.
We've
done
some
coaches
versus
cancer
things
we've
raised
money
for
a
variety
of
nonprofits
of
variety
causes,
but
this
one's
so
close
to
home
that
we
wanted
to
hitch
our
wagons
to
this
one:
girls,
basketball,
girls,
volleyball
boys
and
girls
lacrosse,
you
name
it
that
raised
money
for
Anna's
pals
consistently
throughout
the
year,
well,
whether
it's
gate
receipts
from
a
game
or
certain
fundraisers
that
they
run
food
sales
during
games.
But.
A
B
A
Partnership
between
Anna's
pals
and
the
Boston
Latin
football
program
has
gone
on
to
become
a
huge
success.
The
football
teams
different
drives
and
fundraisers
have
helped
the
nonprofit
expand
their
reach
of
helping
patients
at
Boston,
Children's
Hospital
and
the
Wolfpack
have
learned
life
lessons
that
reach
far
beyond
the
high
school
football
field.
You're.
B
The
first
year
with
will
there
we
had
maybe
five
six
boxes,
full
of
candy.
So,
like
you
know,
we
couldn't
lift
them
up
and
then
that
later
that
year
we
did
a
video
game
Drive
and
we
collected
the
games
and
then
they
went
and
they
solo
the
game
so
Evie
or
whatever
the
name
game
spot
whatever
it
is
nowadays
and
they
got
a
gift
card.
So
then
they
could
buy
the
game
that
they
wanted
to
fit.
The
system
for
the
kids
that
are
stay
at
Children's.

Use
a
public
bathroom
because
of
the
chemo
whoops
out
your
immune
system,
so
you
can't
be
around
anything
or
anything:
that's
not
specifically
cleaned
and
designed
for
the
safety
of
these
kids.
So
Anna's
pals
would
like
to
build
a
beach
house
for
these
kids,
so
they
can
have
a
place
to
go
so
these
families
can
can
regroup
and
revisit
each
other
and
really
have
some
quality
time
together.
So.
D
You
want
to
have
a
beach
house
that
everyone
can
go
to
and
there
the
families
can
spend
quality
time
together
and
make
some
good
memory
really
just
be
great
for
all
the
kids
and
for
the
community.
I
feel
like
everyone
will
just
feel
really
bound
together
and
it
will.
It
will
feel
really
great
to
put
our
name
to
good
use,
and
not
just
like
say:
oh
yeah,
this,
like
my
sister
passed
away,
but
be
like
no
I.
Have
this.
We
have
this
whole
organization
that
helps
so
many
kids
that
were
like
her.
