South Carolina Federal Credit Union Supports MUSC Children’s Hospital

N. CHARLESTON, SC (April 8, 2013) – South Carolina Federal Credit Union employees and members raised $10,034.79 for MUSC Children’s Hospital through the 2013 Change Bandits Campaign.

During the month of February, South Carolina Federal members and employees donated their change to the cause benefitting MUSC Children’s Hospital. Fourteen South Carolina Federal branches, along with support staff, participated in the fundraiser. The money raised helps fund the Child Life program – a program that encourages emotional well-being and normal development in healthcare settings through the use of play, education and support.

South Carolina Federal sponsors a number of programs throughout the year supporting MUSC Children’s Hospital as part of the national Credit Unions for Kids initiative. Since 1994, South Carolina Federal has raised more than $300,000 for MUSC Children’s Hospital.  The national Credit Unions for Kids initiative has resulted in more than $100 million for children’s hospitals across the country.
