Merry Go Round: By the Numbers

This year, the Childhood League Center celebrates 65 years of Merry Go Round, its annual signature fundraiser. The center serves as a place for children with special needs to learn through educational classes and programs. "It is an everyday inspiration to be among staff, family and children that help break down myriad barriers of prejudice and focus on daily support of children and their families," says interim executive director Anna Gsanger.
