Chris Kreider and the Garden of Dreams
If you want to know why Chris Kreider is deserving of this award all you have to do is watch a video produced by MSG Networks. His work with the Garden of Dreams merits recognition. Kreider’s genuine love, caring, and attachment to children suffering from terrible illness is what the world needs more of.
Good Luck Chris!
