“We’re thrilled to be a part of the Clovis community,” says co-owner Preety Khanna. “Our friends and neighbors have been huge supporters of this store since we opened this summer, and this celebration is our small way of saying thank you and giving back.”
“Much of our success depends on the generosity of the community,” says Julie Cusator of Children’s Hospital Central California. “We are excited about our partnership with MaggieMoo’s of Clovis, and appreciate their considerate donation that will help us continue to provide incredible healthcare to children in need.”
