Tustin, CA (February 29, 2024) |
SchoolsFirst FCU, the largest credit union serving school employees and their families, today announced that it contributed more than $365,000 in 2023 – through a combination of corporate donations and fundraising – to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) and designated children’s hospitals in California, including Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC), Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), Rady Children's Hospital – San Diego and UC Davis Children's Hospital.
As a credit union serving California school employees and their families, SchoolsFirst FCU has participated in supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, the charity of choice for credit unions, through partnerships with regional hospitals throughout the state. SchoolsFirst FCU also assumed an active role in fundraising initiatives sponsored by “Credit Unions for Kids” (also known as “CU4Kids”), the brand under which credit unions nationwide raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
“We take pride in working with children’s hospitals throughout California to ensure children and their families receive the critical support they need. This is an important part of the credit union philosophy and commitment to the communities we serve,” said Bill Cheney, chief executive officer at SchoolsFirst FCU. “Each year it is particularly rewarding to witness the way our SchoolsFirst FCU Members and team work together to create healthier and happier futures for children, families and communities.”
