HAWTHORNE, Calif.–SkyOne FCU has continued its annual tradition of participating in Miracle Jeans Day, a nationwide fundraising campaign benefiting the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals. Weeks of fundraising efforts by SkyOne employees culminated on this day, raising $3,400.
Since 2009, SkyOne has hosted the annual Miracle Jeans Day for its employees. The festivities include games, bake-sale, potluck, and an overarching theme, all in the spirit of encouraging donations to CMN. This year, SkyOne celebrated Miracle Jeans Day with a new twist: Rockin’ for Kids Fest. Employees enjoyed the “rock star treatment,” where they dressed in rock star swag, battled each other in lip-syncing contests, and took home prizes from a VIP prize raffle. Each employee also sent their well wishes to the young patients by crafting their own, rock music-inspired greeting cards.
“The Children’s Miracle Network is close to our heart,” said Eileen Rivera, President and CEO at SkyOne, “and Miracle Jeans Day is a perfect opportunity for our employees to let their hair down while supporting this worthy cause.” Ms. Rivera, who also serves as the Chair of the Credit Union for Kids Advisory Board for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, continued, “the rock star theme embodies our passion for helping the kids, but also represents our belief that each child is a rock star in their own right.”
