At the end of April, Brightwater's Early Childhood Program was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Junior League of Duluth!

This grant will be used to build our Parent-Child Interactive Therapy Rooms where our trained providers assist parents and children through coached interaction. These rooms require specific technology, furniture, toys, therapy tools and many other expenses to operate.

The Junior League's commitment to giving and their incredibly generous gift to Brightwater Health comes with tremendous gratitude and appreciation for all that they do.

We are so grateful, Junior League!
