An oversized check for the money that Virginia Credit Union donates for each VCU Basketball assist was presented to Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU this week.
The $5,000 donation was made through VACU’s partnership with VCU Athletics that has the credit union contributing to CHoR for every assist recorded by the teams during their regular-season games.
“We are proud to support Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and their mission to connect young patients and their families with the world-class medical care and support they need,” said VACU President/CEO Chris Shockley. “VACU members and team members are passionate about supporting this cause because all of us have people in our lives or know people who have needed the life-saving and critical medical care provided at CHoR and our other local children’s hospitals.”
The recent donation brings VACU’s total contributions to CHoR to $341,500 during the past decade.
VACU employees have also participated in numerous employee-directed fundraisers for CHoR and other children’s hospitals in its service area, with VACU matching employee contributions in many cases.
“We are deeply grateful to Virginia Credit Union for being a trusted partner in our community and a steadfast supporter of the children and families we serve,” said Children’s Hospital Foundation President and CEO Lauren Moore. “Their long-term commitment helps support families during incredibly difficult moments and ensures children across our region continue to receive the compassionate, world-class care they deserve.”
