EDINBURG, TX— Doctors Hospital at Renaissance and the McAllen Police Department will partner for the 2009 Christmas for Kids Project. Christmas for Kids is an annual event that brings toys, fruit, and smiles to children in the Rio Grande Valley. The event provides a brighter holiday season for children in the Valley as they are presented with food, music, and a holiday parade. In the last five years, Doctors Hospital at Renaissance has donated over $90,000.00 to the McAllen Police Department for their Christmas for Kids Project. A formal check presentation was held at the Main Lobby of Doctors Hospital at Renaissance on December 2, 2009.

“This is another way DHR demonstrates its commitment to supporting the community, we are pleased to partner with the McAllen Police Department and make this a brighter Christmas for our community children,” states Marissa Castañeda, Chief Operations Officer for Doctors Hospital at Renaissance.
