Middlefield, CT - Lyman Orchards is proud to support the Connecticut Children’s Foundation by presenting them with a check for $14,682. Each year, proceeds of Lyman Orchards’ annual Sunflower Maze tickets benefit the foundation and its commitment to providing expert care to pediatric patients.

The Sunflower Maze runs from late July through the end of August annually, with a new theme each year. Last year, Lyman Orchards partnered with the Hartford Yard Goats, with the team’s mascot inspiring the maze design.

“Once again, Lyman Orchards has knocked it out of the park with their extraordinary support of Connecticut Children’s,” said Paulanne Jushkevich, MA, CFRE, President of Connecticut Children’s Foundation. “Since 2007, visitors to Lyman Orchards’ iconic Sunflower Maze have found joy and delight while helping to contribute more than $200,000 to help children in our Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders. We couldn’t be more thankful for such an incredible and enduring partnership!”
