Bluegrass for Babies Concert in Sawyer Point *Giveaway*

When Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) provided Matt and Anne Schneider's son, Nicholas, with a life saving surgery at less than two days old, they decided to give back to the hospital. 

Combining their love of bluegrass music, gratitude for CCHMC and a desire to help other parents raise healthy kids, they expanded their annual backyard bluegrass party into Bluegrass for Babies, Inc.

Here's what they say about it:

"Launched as an annual bluegrass benefit concert, Bluegrass for Babies has evolved into an organization that provides tools, resources, and year-round special events centered on helping parents create an environment to raise healthy children, right from the start. The organization supports the Perinatal Institute at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, which provides comprehensive care for infants before, during and after delivery so that all children can have the best start to life. More information is available online at www.bluegrassforbabies.com."

 

For the past five years, Bluegrass for Babies, Inc. has held a benefit concert to celebrate CCHMC.  On Saturday September 21st, Bluegrass for Babies returns to Sawyer Point in Cincinnati with fun for the whole family.
