Stony Brook, NY, November 26, 2014 – Former patient, 4-yr-old Bobby Volk, who came through the Pediatric Emergency Department at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital in September and needed emergency surgery, presented a giant check to Dr. Richard Scriven, a pediatric surgeon, today in the lobby of Stony Brook Medicine.
Weeks after a successful surgery and very positive experience at Stony Brook Children’s, Bobby was watching a television show and the episode was about a bake sale. He asked his mother if he could have a bake sale. After questioning him, he said he wanted to have one for Dr. Scriven, his team, and all the other children at Stony Brook, stating that “they need stuff”. Bobby and his mom Andrea baked cookies and brownies; Bobby packed up his wagon, and sold the goodies to people at his mother’s job. In the end, Bobby raised almost $300!
