Rob Wythe and Sharon Scott, present and past Community Service Chairs of the McKinney Rotary Club, hold some of the 206 new stuffed animals that the Club donated to the non-profit Adam’s Animals. Following the death of their 18 year old son Adam from leukemia, his parents have collected new stuffed animals to donate on Adam’s November birthday to various Dallas and Collin county hospitals for children on the oncology floor. Since 1999 Adam’s Animals has donated over 88,000 new stuffed animals giving a smile and a giggle to ill children and a moment of relief for their parents.
