Akron Children's Hospital Unveils Kay Jewelers Pavilion

(IDEX Online News) – Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio has introduced its new medical building, the Kay Jewelers Pavilion. The new building's name recognizes a recent $10 million philanthropic gift from Kay Jewelers to the hospital's "Building on the Promise" capital campaign. The gift is the largest in the hospital’s history.

In addition, the new cafe in the building will also be called the Kay Kafe.

“This gift will allow us to continue bringing the most advanced pediatric medical care to northern Ohio,” said Bill Considine, president and CEO of Akron Children's Hospital. “We're tremendously grateful for their generosity and support."

Sterling has been a partner of Akron Children's since 1988, sponsoring numerous fundraisers and events, supporting patient families during the holiday season and establishing the Sterling Jewelers Family Respite Area in the hospital's Reinberger Family Center.

"One of our pillars as a responsible business is giving back to the communities in which we work and live," said Ed Hrabak, president of Sterling Jewelers.

"Akron Children's has an incredible record of care and its dedication to making our community a healthier and safer place is something we support wholeheartedly. We are thrilled to introduce the Kay Jewelers Pavilion and are excited for it to open and be part of the amazing work done here beginning next spring." 

Kay Jewelers is operated by Akron, Ohio-based Sterling Jewelers, a division of Signet Jewelers Ltd., the largest specialty retail jeweler in the US, UK and Canada.
