For the second year in a row, members of the Jennings County Color Guard purchased toys for children at Schneck Medical Center who are

hospitalized over the holidays. Stephanie Furlow, Schneck’s director of marketing, says that dozens of toys were delivered to the Pediatrics Unit earlier this week by Color Guard coaches Seth and Cathy Hulse.

The Jennings County Color Guard began in 2003 as an extracurricular group and continues to function independently. Members of the Color Guard are responsible for raising their own money, through fundraisers and donations, to participate in the group. Furlow says that, this year, the Color Guard raised money to purchase gifts for children they did not even know.
