Because of its service to children with special needs, Children’s Care has been selected as a beneficiary of “Celebrity Hunt for a Cure,” an annual pheasant hunt near Pierre. The hunt is sponsored by Hunter’s Dream for a Cure Foundation, which was created by Robb and Wendy Nelson of Colorado in memory of their son, Hunter. Hunter had the rare brain disease Sturge-Weber Syndrome and died unexpectedly of a seizure in May 2005. He was five years old. The “Hunter’s Dream for a Cure” foundation has raised over one million dollars for children’s charities, to “make sure other families do not have to go through the ultimate tragedy of losing a child,” says Robb.
