SANTA ANA, CA (June 16, 2023) — SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, the largest credit union serving school employees and their families, today announced that the Credit Union raised more than $12,000 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). The amount raised was through a combination of participation at the CHLA Walk & Play L.A. 2023 annual fundraising event and a fundraising campaign held in the Credit Union’s branch locations in Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Overall, $12,439 was raised, making SchoolsFirst FCU the top corporate fundraiser for this event.
A team of 28 SchoolsFirst FCU teammembers participated in the CHLA Walk & Play LA event on May 20, held 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.
Funds were also raised through the Miracle Butterfly Icon Campaign held in SchoolsFirst FCU branch locations in Los Angeles and the Inland Empire from April 24 through May 20. 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. All donations directly benefited CHLA.
