🥳 Congrats to rosedalechristian they are this months winner of the Chick-Fil-A Everyday Heroes Award presented by Baltimore Area Chick-Fil-A Restaurants! 🥳⁠
⁠
In the month of April, the office of caseycares turns into a workshop with volunteers rolling thousands of pajamas that will go to critically-ill children at local hospitals.⁠ 
⁠
"For our staff and the organization, it means so much to have so many people in the community contributing but also making the campaign their own," said Erin Ritter, deputy associate director at Casey Cares.⁠
⁠
One of the schools that steps up to collect pajamas is Rosedale Christian Academy.⁠
⁠
"We had a student here several years ago who was blessed by the Casey Cares Foundation so our school started collecting for that reason," said Melissa Hughey, the elementary school principal at Rosedale Christian Academy.⁠
⁠
This year, the students collected 1,301 pairs of pajamas.⁠
⁠
The class that collected the most pairs got to take a field trip to Casey Cares to drop off the donations.⁠
⁠
"It kind of gives them a better idea of where those pajamas are going and how they’re used by the hospital so its nice to be able to make a full circle there," said Ritter.⁠
⁠
And the visit drives home the message that doing simple acts of kindness can be just as rewarding to the students, as those who are on the receiving end.⁠
⁠
"It makes me feel happy because it makes me feel happy when I give," said fifth grader Imani Hubbins.⁠
