Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union raises more than $1,900 for children’s of Alabama

DALEVILLE, AL (September 24, 2014) — Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union (AACFCU) raised more than $1,900 for Children’s Miracle Network and the Children’s Hospital of Alabama.  AACFCU branches sold paper footballs for three days in August to raise money.  Members and AACFCU employees generously made donations to help children and families who travel to Birmingham to stay at the hospital.

AACFCU employees also participated in Miracle Jeans Day on September 10 by making donations to Children’s Miracle Network and the Children’s Hospital of Alabama in exchange for wearing jeans to work. This event raised $500.

Children’s Miracle Network serves children at more than 170 children’s hospitals nationwide.  Children’s of Alabama has provided specialized medical care for ill and injured children across the state and throughout the southeastern U.S.  Children’s of Alabama is the only medical center in Alabama dedicated solely to the care and treatment of children. Credit unions are the largest supporter of Miracle Jeans Day and the third largest supporter of CMN Hospital.
