Big smiles, special surprises and a lot of Bruins pride 🖤💛

This week, members of the Boston Bruins stopped by Franciscan Children’s to drop off donated toys and spend time with our patients - bringing joy, excitement and unforgettable moments to kids and families across our hospital. We’re so grateful to the Bruins for their generosity and for helping make spirits a little brighter this holiday season.

A Magical Morning at Franciscan Children’s!

Earlier this week, we had the incredible honor of welcoming members of The Boston Pops and the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Tanglewood Festival Chorus to Kennedy Day School at Franciscan Children's for a special live performance.

Our students, patients and staff were treated to an unforgettable experience filled with music, joy and connection. From familiar holiday favorites to uplifting classics, the performance brought smiles, movement and moments of pure wonder to our community.

We’re deeply grateful to the Boston Pops and Tanglewood Festival Chorus for sharing their time and talents with us.
