This year, we are raising awareness for a liver disease that only affects infants called Biliary Atresia (BA). This disorder affects the bile ducts which results in the rapid destruction of liver cells, cirrhosis, and scarring of the liver. It affects approximately 1 in 15,000 infants and 70% of those affected will require a liver transplant within their first year of life to survive.

We are excited to announce that we have formed a strategic partnership with Liver Mommas & Families, Inc. to extend the reach of our respective companies. LMF and Child Life Coffee will work collaboratively on fundraising efforts, raise awareness for pediatric liver disease and organ transplant, and be a voice in pediatric liver transplant advocacy.

This morning Child Life Coffee had the pleasure delivering coffee to Medstar Georgetown University Hospital. Our coffee will help provide energy to the child life specialists, the pediatric nurses, and the families. CLC is proud to provide continued support.
