Pacific Marine Credit Union members creating miracles for children
Local Credit Union raises over $7,300.00 for Rady Children’s Hospital
OCEANSIDE, CA (June 25, 2015) — Pacific Marine Credit Union (PMCU) raised over $7,300.00 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through the “Miracle Month of May” donation campaign. All proceeds of this campaign directly benefited Rady Children’s Hospital– San Diego, the largest children’s hospital in California.
Through a partnership with the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Pacific Marine Credit Union hosted a “Miracle Month of May” campaign. The campaign sold and displayed Miracle Balloons at each of PMCU’s 11 branch locations throughout San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, as well as through accepting donations via their local call center.
This was the ninth consecutive year that PMCU employees and members came together in support of the month-long donation campaign. In total, over $90,000 was raised over the years for the ill and injured children receiving care at the local hospital.
“Rady Children’s Hospital is an integral part of our community helping our ill and injured children through their treatments and recuperation,” said Brad Smith, Interim President/CEO. “The Miracle Month of May Campaign is a way for us to give back to this important local resource. PMCU believes in the credit union philosophy of “people helping people” and what better way to do so then supporting an organization that cares for our children.”
