Officials from Kings Family Restaurant give a $5,000 check to the Mario Lemieux Foundation for Austin's Playroom at the Butler Memorial Hospital. Austin's Playroom is a multihospital Lemieux Foundation program that gives kids a play area in a number of the region's hospitals. The Kings donation will go to maintaining the Butler Memorial Austin's Playroom. At the ceremony were, from left, Drew Parish, marketing director for the Mario Lemieux Foundation; George Brown, regional director for Kings Family Restaurant; Gregg Doty, general manager of Kings of Butler; and Karen Allen, chief nursing officer with Butler Health Systems.
