Key Club Supports Healing Headband Program

club news

The North Shore K Family joins hands with the Healing Headbands Program for 2016-17.

The Key Club will join with the Healing Headbands Program for their single service project. The North Shore Kiwanis Club, the Key Club's parent, has also joined hands with this group and invited Founders for Healing Headbands Barbara Grapstein and Joanie Accolla to a meeting.

These two friends from Sea Cliff joined together to form this nonprofit organization. This non-profit organization created only 2 years ago, was formed to create colorful head coverings that bring joy to people who are battling cancer and other serious illnesses. These headbands are paired with special laughter exercises to help people laugh -- not to make people laugh!!

Together the K Family is "banding for a cause" as we move forward in the new year of service. Pictured is the North Shore key Club officers James Mastakouris and Robert Sharkey presenting a check for $620, from a recent fundraiser, to Accolla and Grapstein. Joined in this presentation is current Kiwanis President Merrideth Brosnan.
