DANA POINT, Calif.—The 10th annual California and Nevada Credit Unions for Kids Win Auction raised more than $1 million for 11 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in the two states.
The event, which took place at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa, drew more than 425 people and was supported by more than 80 credit unions, business partners and hospitals, according to organizers. The night included a special donation of $200,000 by Eric Day, board member with the Credit Union of Southern California, in honor of Martha Eileen Sheff.
More than $3.6 million has now been raised by the Credit Unions for Kids Wine Auction since 2006.
“Through the incredible efforts and generosity of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers, we have set a new milestone of support for the eleven Children’s Hospitals in California and Nevada,” said Jeff York, event chairman and president and CEO of CoastHills Credit Union. “Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals is a special cause for credit unions and we are pleased to be giving back to this great organization and the children of our community.”
The evening’s very special guest was 10-year-old Logan Hansen, and CMN Hospital patient, shared how Children’s Hospital of Orange County and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles have changed his life.
Logan, who was diagnosed with complex Congenital Heart Disease a few hours after his birth, has navigated his way through three major heart surgeries, countless procedures and treatments, and doctor visits. He is just one of the many stories of hope as a result of the tireless efforts of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals throughout the country.
