ARLINGTON , Va. – So Kids Can participants Karl Alzner, Nicklas Backstrom and Braden Holtby of the Washington Capitals and Elliot Segal from the Elliot in the Morning show unveiled a refurbished pediatric hematology/oncology outpatient waiting area at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital on March 17.
The room is hockey-themed with Capitals highlights and was funded using money raised from the last three seasons of So Kids Can. Architecture Inc. designed the space, while Hinter Construction built the waiting room for patients battling childhood cancers and blood disorders.
So Kids Can was created in 2008 by former Capitals defenseman Mike Green and Segal to benefit youth-focused, nonprofit organizations.
