Mountainside, NJ: The New Jersey Woodturners club presented a check to Children’s Specialized Hospital Foundation on Monday, April 22.

Children’s Specialized Hospital, which cares for children with complex physical and mental health needs, is making a real impact on the lives of kids all over New Jersey.”
