PR Newswire (09/01/93)

Collegeville, Pa.--Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Inc., a global pharmaceutical company, and The Circle of Care, two family- oriented AIDS clinics, will mark the fourth anniversary of their partnership with a "Family Day" celebration. Internationally-acclaimed comedienne Elayne Boosler will host the festivities, to be held Sept. 8 at the Academy of Natural Sciences. The Circle of Care clinics are located in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, and serve HIV-infected children and their families throughout the Delaware Valley. Their services include medical care, transportation, counseling, and community education. Rhone-Poulenc has made a five-year pledge to underwrite the health care component of the program. Robert E. Cawthorn, chairman and CEO of RPR, will present checks to the hospitals as the fourth installment of their pledge. Boosler will present checks to the hospitals and to the Circle of Care from "Caring in Concert 1992," a benefit concert in which she performed. She will also emcee this year's concert, which stars Aretha Franklin.
