TUSTIN, Calif.–SchoolsFirst FCU raised more than $10,900 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) through participation at the CHLA Walk & Play L.A. 2024 annual fundraising event, and through a fundraising campaign held in its branch locations.
Representing SchoolsFirst FCU, 23 team members and 21 of their family members participated in the CHLA Walk & Play L.A. event at the Santa Monica Pier.
Walk & Play L.A. is designed to help CHLA raise critical funds to support its mission of creating hope and building healthier futures for children. SchoolsFirst FCU was the highest corporate fundraiser for the Walk & Play L.A. event, raising $5,817.
Members raised an additional $5,138 through the Miracle Butterfly Icon Campaign, held in SchoolsFirst FCU branch locations in Los Angeles and the Inland Empire from April 22 through May 17. When SchoolsFirst FCU Members donated $1 or more to the cause, their names were written on a paper butterfly icon and displayed in the branch. SchoolsFirst FCU team members also supported the cause, either donating through the Miracle Butterfly Icon Campaign or the CHLA Walk & Play L.A. All donations directly benefited CHLA.
“SchoolsFirst FCU has a long-standing partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH), the charity of choice for credit unions,” Kevin Martin, executive vice president of strategic integration and member experience, said in a statement. “CHLA meets the critical need of providing pediatric care for children and their families in the Los Angeles and Inland Empire communities, also served by SchoolsFirst FCU, so we’re proud to support this important cause.”
