PARSIPPANY, N.J.–Garden Savings Federal Credit Union recently provided Children’s Specialized Hospital with a donation of $5,000. This is in addition to the $7,000 the credit union raised for the hospital at its annual golf outing this past July, bringing the grant total of funds raised to $12,000 in 2015. The credit union raises money all year long by encouraging staff to wear jeans on Fridays in exchange for a $5 monthly contribution that goes to the charitable organization. The executive team of Garden Savings also participates and provides a $20 monthly contribution.
“Children’s Miracle Network and the Children’s Specialized Hospital do wonderful work and their mission is one that we completely support,” said Garden Savings President and CEO, Lou Vetere. “They are the premier provider of pediatric health care in the United States and help children that truly need it. This organization treats over 20,000 children each year and they do a wonderful job of providing them with top-notch health care. They make a clear and visible difference in the lives of the children they help. We are happy to play a small part in their ongoing success with this contribution and we hope to be able to do even more for this special group of people next year.”
The check was presented to Nicole Fulmino of Children’s Specialized Hospital. Garden Savings will continue with their “jeans on Fridays” fundraising efforts throughout 2016 and plans to host their 6th annual golf outing this summer.
