We have a box on both sides of our practice if anyone would like to drop off gently used or new shoes!! 💚🩵🧡

👟💙 Kickoff: Rotary Club of Stuart CART Shoe Drive

Helping Alzheimer’s Research and families around the world
We’re excited to launch our CART Shoe Drive, running August 15 – October 15, and we’re inviting the entire community to join us in making a meaningful impact.

💡 What is CART?

CART — Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust — was founded in 1995 to prove that small donations can create big change. As the document explains:

“The premises of the project was to encourage Rotarians to donate all the spare change they had and prove that even small donations can add up to a significant level of support…”

Today, nearly 600 Rotary Clubs support CART, and 100% of donations go directly to Alzheimer’s research. Over $15 million has already been awarded to researchers working toward a cure.

👟 Where do the shoes go?

Through our partnership with Funds2Orgs, every pair of gently used or new shoes collected is sent to micro‑enterprise programs in developing countries, where they help families build sustainable income. As the agreement states:

“These shoes are shipped to over 20 countries for people who have no footwear available to them.”

Funds2Orgs purchases the shoes by the pound — $0.40 per pound — and 100% of those funds go straight to CART to support Alzheimer’s research.

📅 Collection Opportunities
We’ll be collecting shoes at:

Demolition Derby – August 29

Patrick County Agricultural Fair – September

Around town at participating businesses - Town of Stuart, Tony's Pizza & Pub and Patrick County Library.

Anytime between August 15 and October 15

🧡 How you can help
Bring us your:

Gently worn shoes

New shoes

Kids’ shoes

Sneakers, boots, sandals — all styles welcome

Every pair helps families abroad and fuels Alzheimer’s research here at home.

Let’s fill those collection boxes, support CART, and show what Patrick County can do when we come together.

NEW OFFICE POLICIES AS OF 6/17/2026‼️📣

To ensure we can efficiently verify and update insurance information, we ask that all parents and guardians bring their current insurance card to EVERY appointment.

As of 6/17/2026, please note that failure to provide an insurance card at check-in may result in your appointment being rescheduled. It is very important that we have your most up-to-date insurance information on file at each visit. You will be required to pay 40-100% of your balance due PLUS your co-pay at the time of check-in. The percentage required will be based upon your insurance policy’s deductible amount.

To ensure that appointment times are reserved for patients who intend to keep their scheduled visits, our office requires appointment confirmation prior to the scheduled appointment date.

Parents/guardians will receive a reminder call/voicemail AND text message requesting confirmation of their appointment. As of 6/17/2026, if we do not receive a confirmation response at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment, the appointment WILL be canceled and the time slot may be offered to another patient.

Patients/guardians are responsible for ensuring that the office has current contact information, including a valid phone number.

If you are unable to confirm your appointment or need to make changes to your scheduled visit, please contact our office as soon as possible. AGAIN, failure to respond to appointment confirmation requests may result in cancellation of the appointment without further notice.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as this policy helps us provide timely care and improve appointment availability for all patients.
By scheduling an appointment with our office, you acknowledge and agree to comply with these policies.

Thank you,
Children First Pediatrics of VA
🧡💙💚

We had a little bit of fun rivalry in the office today! 😆 Our med student sported his UNC attire, so Dr. Noonan had to represent her Alma Mater, Duke University!

So you all decide… Duke or UNC??
