Introducing the children's hospital kids:

Their images are synonymous with the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital, but until now they were nameless. They are the three children, illustrated by SUNY Upstate's Dan Dippel, who have showed up on billboards, posters and other materials used in the children's hospital campaign.

A contest to name the children's hospital campaign kids children, launched at this year's New York State Fair, attracted more than 3,000 entries.

The winning entries were submitted by Paige, 7, of Fulton, who provided the name of Isabella RosieCheeks; Antonio, 4, of Dewitt, who provided the name of Oliver, and Amanda, 11, of Fayetteville, who thought Hope was the best name for the girl who has an arm in a cast and a thermometer in her mouth.

'Thanks to Paige, Antonio and Amanda, we know have Isabella RosieCheeks, Oliver and Hope,' said BJ Adigun of the Golisano Children's Hospital. 'We appreciate the community's continued support of the children's hospital and especially all the children who participated in our 'Name the Kids' contest.'
