The Brandel-Murphy Youth Foundation (BMYF) makes matching grants available to Lions Clubs to help them further their help for children in need. This past week, PDG John McDonald, a member of the BMYF grant committee, presented a check for $500 in support of the District 20W Waterford Lions cub's school backpack food program. This will go along way in helping children in need in their community!!

Our brandelmurphyfoundation.org co-founders, LCI Past International President Lion Al Brandel and Dr Maureen Murphy, Lion — each other’s true Partners-in-Service — were joined by LCI 2nd Vice President Dr. Manoj Shah and Jayne of Kenya, also dedicated Partners-in-Service, for a special visit highlighting the impact of Lions service in Central New York while attending the LionsofNewYorkState Lions Clubs of Bermuda 102nd Annual convention.

During their visit, the couples toured one of the meaningful projects supported by the Brandel-Murphy Youth Foundation: Central NY Lions (District 20-Y)’s Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Department Project. Thanks to donations from 37 Lions Clubs, individual Lions of District 20-Y1, and support from a Brandel-Murphy Youth Foundation grant, Upstate Children’s Hospital now has a dedicated Pediatric Emergency Room Conference Room. This important space is used for group meetings between doctors and families to discuss a child’s medical needs, as well as for weekly pediatric staff meetings.

The Pediatric Emergency Department serves approximately 27,000 children and adolescents each year, from just 1 day old through age 18, across Central New York’s 19-county region. During the tour, they were also joined by other Lions who experienced the department’s iconic interactive display and saw the comfortable, child-friendly furniture designed to help reduce stress for young patients facing what can often be frightening medical procedures.
