Spread the Warmth END 2013



The Spread the Warmth Initiative ended on March 31st, but not before we received a large shipment of blankets that were so very special, they were wrapped in red ribbons!
Dr. Hulon Crayton and the staff at The Arthritis & Infusion Center decided that the Children’s Home Society of Florida would be our recipients this past winter season.

“We never seem to have enough blankets to go around since our kids need to stay warm, may be in transient, and must take their belongings with them. We are so very grateful to Dr. Crayton for this donation,” said Ms. Felicia Robinson Cook, Director of Development for CHS.

And who could possibly have known that March would have been one of our coldest months in recent history? We would like to thank everyone who donated blankets to this worthwhile cause. We have already chosen our recipient for next year’s “Spread the Warmth” campaign, which will start in November of next year, so “stay tuned” as to how you can participate!

DR. CRAYTON Continues to SPREAD Seasonal WARMTH!



For the THIRD year in a row, Dr. Hulon Crayton, Rheumatologist and owner of The Arthritis & Infusion Center, has seen the need for people to stay warm. “Cold rooms have a significant impact on people’s health,” said Dr. Crayton. One of the best ways of keeping yourself well during winter is to stay warm. Keeping warm over the winter months can help prevent colds, flu, or more serious health conditions such as pneumonia and depression. 
           
“When we became aware of the situation at the Children’s Home Society of Florida, we knew we had to take immediate action by purchasing extra blankets for the children to utilize,” said Dr. Crayton.
           
Felicia Robinson Cook, Director of Development at the Children’s Home Society of Florida was very grateful to Dr. Crayton and his team. “We never seem to have enough blankets to go around since our kids need to stay warm, may be transient, and must take their belongings with them. We are so very grateful to Dr. Crayton for this donation,” said Ms. Cook.
            
This winter, The Arthritis & Infusion Center would like to encourage Bay County residents to clean out their linen closets or purchase NEW blankets for Dr. Crayton and his staff to distribute to the Children’s Home Society of Florida. “We’d like to continue to ‘spread the warmth’ as much as possible. People who are interested in helping us with this important project can drop blankets at our medical practice any Monday through Thursday, 2917 Highway 77 in the Baldwin Plaza,” said Dr. Crayton. "Help us continue to spread the warmth during this entire winter season!" 


The Arthritis & Infusion Center will collect blankets to distribute from December 1 until March 31 at their medical practice. (Their office is closed between 12 noon and 1:30 each day.)
