Yoga Reaches Out presents check to Children's Hospital in Africa

Sarah Gardner of Wayland is the founder of Yoga Reaches Out, a nonprofit that began in 2009 to raise funds for children’s charities through yoga events. The group held its second yogathon on May 6 at the Dana-Farber Field House at Gillette Stadium. About 650 yogis of all ages gathered for a day of yoga, community and fundraising for Boston Children’s Hospital and the Africa Yoga Project.

Yoga Reaches Out held a check ceremony at Children’s Hospital to present the Division of Developmental Medicine with a gift of $200,000, to be allocated for helping the autism programs at the hospital.

Yoga Reaches Out will hold its third annual Yogathon at Gillette Stadium’s Field House on April 28, 2013.
