PHILADELPHIA, PA (June 26, 2018) — American Heritage Credit Union and its Kids-N-Hope Foundation raised $45,000 through its 25th Annual Gelatin Olympics on Wednesday, June 13, 2018.
More than 100 sliders gathered pledges from sponsors in the weeks leading up to the event, dressed up in their wildest costumes, and took the plunge into a pool full of 1,000 gallons of bright red gelatin to support the Foundation. In addition to the Ultimate Gelatin Slide, children of all ages participated in the Gelatin Eating Contest, Balloon Toss Contest, Gelatin Seek and Find and other fun games.
The Kids-N-Hope Foundation raises money to support Child Life Services, specifically, Music Therapy at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and other local hospitals within American Heritage’s Workplace Partnership Program. When a child becomes ill or injured, these normal activities and relationships are disrupted. American Heritage Credit Union and its Kids-N-Hope Foundation are proud to support opportunities to engage children in normal day-to-day activities, support their development and enhance their ability to cope with hospital experience.
