STATESVILLE, NC – The Ryan Newman Foundation has donated 600 of their “Newmans Pup Crew” stuffed dogs to pediatric patients at Riley Hospital for Children.
NASCAR Driver Ryan Newman is a native Hoosier born and raised in South Bend, Ind. Putting a smile on the faces of those children who visit the pediatric area each year was something he and his wife Krissie are happy to do.
In May 2010, the Ryan Newman Foundation produced “Newmans Pup Crew,” stuffed dogs designed to grab the attention of children and use as an educational tool to promote responsible pet ownership. The dogs mirror the Newman’s adopted pets. The six pack includes Mopar, Socks, Fred, Harley, Dunkin and Digger, who has since passed away. To learn more about Newmans Pup Crew visit www.RyanNewmanFoundation.org.
“Krissie and I are new parents to a daughter,” said Ryan Newman. “I know that if she were to fall ill and have to be admitted to the hospital or even go on a regular basis, I’d want to feel safe. I haven’t met a child yet that didn’t like a stuffed animal. They act as a friend and someone they can talk to when feeling bad. I hope our dogs provide that comfort to the children that visit Riley.”
