Lions club donates to UPMC Children’s

The Bridgeville Greater Area Lions Foundation has donated $8,000 to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to help address pediatric cancer.
The nonprofit club raised funds through a yearly pasta dinner, secretary Dan Hupp said.
“Many of us know children who have gone through the rigorous but critical treatment for cancer,” Mr. Hupp said.
“We chose to partner with UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation because of the great research programs and outstanding treatment that children and their families receive from UPMC Children’s Hospital.”
Children’s South is located on Millers Run Road in South Fayette. The center includes pediatric outpatient services, primary care and after-hours care.
The local Lions club, part of Lions Clubs International, serves South Fayette, Bridgeville, Collier and Heidelberg.
