I'm pleased to share that we raised over $10,000 from the We ❤ Our Kids: Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Fundraiser. Thank you to those who contributed for your generous donations, of which Georgia’s Own Foundation matched $5,000. For more than 30 years, CMN Hospitals have raised funds nationally for more than 170 children’s hospitals, including local institutions like Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), Children's Hospital of Georgia (CHOG), and Phoebe Putney Health System.
In Metro Atlanta, your donations will benefit the Heart Center at CHOA by helping to fund their Feed the Mind initiative, while donations in the Southwest region will have a direct impact on the NICU ambulance at Phoebe. And in the East and Southeast regions, your gift will help fund the infrastructure needed for the new Center for Pediatric Development, Behavioral Health and Wellness at the Children's Hospital of Georgia. Caring for our community’s children has been and remains a priority of the Credit Union, and we're proud to support this wonderful cause.
Another way we're caring for our community’s kids is through our partnership with Vision To Learn. Alongside the Atlanta Hawks, we provided students at J.E. Edmonds Elementary with free eye exams and prescription glasses, as well as new books to celebrate National Reading Month. Millions of kids across the country don’t have the glasses they need to see the whiteboard, read a book, or participate in class. Vision To Learn aims to increase engagement in the classroom by providing free vision screenings, eye exams, glasses, and replacement lenses for children in low-income communities.
Lastly, our Presidential Scholarship opened on March 21st and is currently accepting applications. Designed to help shape the next generation of credit union leaders, this scholarship awards $5,000 to one first-year college student planning to major in business.
We appreciate your membership and thank you for being one of Georgia’s Own.
Sincerely,
Dave Preter
