BURTON, Mich. – ELGA Credit Union celebrated Children’s Hospital Week by raising funds to benefit Hurley Children’s Hospital, Flint’s own Children’s Miracle Network (CMN )hospital.
Throughout April, ELGA celebrated Hurley, the children they treat, and the medical heroes working there by raising money to support the hospital and its programs. ELGA associates, along with credit union members, came together and raised $4,659 to benefit the hospital. These funds will support pediatric patients at Hurley, whether they’re fighting cancer or spending their first days of life in the NICU.
ELGA associates shared their personal stories of how Hurley impacted their lives, highlightingjust a few reasons why the hospital means so much to the credit union. Additionally, ELGA staff purchased a jeans pass and unique CMN t-shirt to wear, and members showed their support by purchasing an iconic $1 CMN yellow paper balloons that covered the walls of all 14 ELGAbranches.
“We are so fortunate to have a CMN hospital right here in our community – one of only four CMNhospitals in Michigan,” said Cheryl Sclater, ELGA public relations manager. “Children’s Miracle Network is the charity of choice for credit unions and our ELGA team is always happy to step upto the plate and support the children at Hurley.”
