CRESTVIEW — Drew Barefield, back from his tour of Washington, D.C., with 49 other state Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Champions, appeared at the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce’s July breakfast meeting July 7.
Drew said his favorite experience in the capital was exploring the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
"It wasn't my favorite thing but it was fun seeing it through Drew's eyes," his mom, Wendy Barefield, said.
Drew is an ambassador for The Children’s Hospital at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, where he was treated following a June 28, 2014, boating accident. During the breakfast, chamber President Dawn Mann challenged other members to match her $100 contribution to the hospital, which serves pediatric trauma patients.
