The murals were installed in the main hallway right off the Atrium of Children’s National Medical Center. This project is an expression of their sincere and heartfelt appreciation for Dr. Sever’s lifelong dedication to the care of children and his pioneering effort through Rotary towards the elimination of Polio from the world.
This project was made possible by funding from Rotary District 7620, and contributions from the following Rotary Clubs: Potomac, Carrol Creek, Bladensburg, Laurel, College Park and Potomac-Bethesda. Individual contributors were Dr. Mark Pitts, DGN Bill Fine, PDG Ray Streib, PDG Dick Angus, PDG Raj Saini, Asok Motayed and Ken Jordan.
We wish to thank the project committee for their unwavering commitment of time:
PDG Morris Gevinson, Chair

“Thank you for a marvelous job, I love your work and attitude. We are just so pleased with the efforts by Splashes of Hope.
The murals are unbelievably fantastic and they deserve a standing ovation.
I am sure we are going to hear lots of compliments from the children and staff at Children’s National Medical Center.
Thank you again for a super, super job!”
