SDCCU launches Holiday Toy Drive benefiting Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego
SAN DIEGO, CA (November 18, 2014) -- San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), San Diego’s largest locally-owned financial institution, has launched its fifth annual Holiday Toy Drive benefiting Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego, San Diego’s only hospital dedicated solely to pediatric care.
Through Dec. 20, 2014, every one of SDCCU’s 35 convenient branch locations throughout Southern California will serve as an authorized drop-off location for new, unwrapped toys. All toys will be donated to Rady Children’s Hospital.
“We are proud to support Rady Children’s Hospital in the collection of toys that will hopefully make the day a little brighter for Rady patients all year round,” said Teresa Halleck, SDCCU President and CEO. “We encourage our customers to join us in our effort to create healthier tomorrows in the life of critically ill children. We want to deliver a message of joy to courageous youngsters who find themselves in need of pediatric healthcare.”
Donated items may be used throughout the year as gifts to individual patients in various age groups. In addition, donated items may be utilized in playrooms and support groups as in-room activities for patients and in conjunction with therapies.
Last holiday season, SDCCU’s customers and employees donated more than 1,000 toys in support of SDCCU’s fourth annual Holiday Toy Drive.
