Penn State Football’s Nick Dawkins Visits Pediatric Rehab Center in Wilkes-Barre

On a recent visit to Allied Services John P. Moses, Esq. Pediatric Rehabilitation Center in Wilkes-Barre, Penn State Football standout Nick Dawkins was welcomed with smiles, stories, and a show of support from the local healthcare community.

Atty. Bill Conaboy, President and CEO of Allied Services Integrated Health System, presented Dawkins with a donation in support of the Dawkins Family Foundation. The foundation, launched by Nick and his family, is dedicated to empowering youth and families through education, mentorship, and wellness initiatives.

During his visit, Dawkins toured the pediatric rehab center and spent time connecting with patients, their families, and staff. He joined families for breakfast, signed autographs, and posed for pictures, bringing inspiration and joy to all in attendance.

“Nick’s passion for giving back and his family’s legacy of perseverance and hard work embody the values we strive to instill in our young patients,” said Atty. Conaboy. “It was a privilege to welcome him to our facility and to support the important work of his foundation.”

The visit was especially meaningful for families and staff, many of whom were moved by Dawkins’ message of resilience and service. Drawing on his own experiences and his family’s commitment to community impact, Dawkins encouraged patients to “work harder” and believe in their potential - no matter the challenges they face.

The Dawkins Family Foundation continues the legacy of the Dawkins family, known not only for their athletic achievements but also for their community leadership and generosity.
