Kinder Key Calls for Caroling Groups for Holiday Season

November 26, 2012

Celebrate the holiday season by organizing a group of friends, family or co-workers to sing songs of cheer and bring new hope to young hearts for the annual Kinder Key holiday caroling drive – Caroling for a Cause.

Kinder Key, an auxiliary of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, invites the public to form groups of neighbors, boy/girl scout troops, societies and organizations to join the fun of singing holiday carols during the month of December. Donations collected from the caroling groups will benefit The Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s.

For more information and/or to receive a caroling kit, contact the Kinder Key Caroling hotline at (614) 722-2965, or visit NationwideChildrens.org/KinderKey for online registration. Caroling kits include song sheets, identification stickers, collection canister, a neighborhood welcome letter and more.
