Easter Eggstravaganza Raises Over $2,600 For NICU Fund

More than 2,000 people joined Northside Hospital-Cherokee for its 29th Annual Easter Eggstravaganza, which was held on Saturday, March 28 on the facility’s grounds in Canton.

“It was a beautiful day for an Easter Egg hunt,” said Billy Hayes, CEO, Northside Hospital-Cherokee. “Thank you to all of the families who came out to support Northside Hospital-Cherokee and help make this year’s Easter Eggstravaganza such a success.”

The Northside Hospital-Cherokee Easter Eggstravaganza is a Cherokee County tradition. Children and their parents enjoyed photos with the Easter Bunny, hot dogs, cotton candy and popcorn, moon walks, carnival games, arts & crafts, sand arts, a magician, face painting, balloon artists, a petting zoo and so much more.

Roughly $2,600 was raised from the photos with the Easter Bunny, T-shirt sales and other donations. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Northside Hospital Foundation’s NICU (Special Care Nurseries) Fund for babies at Northside Hospital-Cherokee.

The event also collected diapers, wipes and baby food for MUST Ministries in Cherokee.

Others who helped in this year’s event include Northside Hospital-Cherokee Auxiliary, Morrison Healthcare and HighGrove Partners for sponsoring this year’s Easter Eggstravaganza and to all of the hospital employees and community members who volunteered their time to make the event happen.
