BEAVERTON, Ore. – Credit unions in Oregon and southwest Washington joined together to raise $847,000 last year for the Credit Unions for Kids campaign.
This group of credit unions has raised $10.6 million for Children’s Miracle Network since 1986.
The current fundraising goals for credit unions in Oregon and SW Washington are:
* Doernbecher Children’s Hospital: A two-year, $1 million goal to fund the professorship of Dr. Robert Steiner, who specializes in inborn errors of metabolism and osteogenesis imperfecta.
* Sacred Heart Medical Center: A one-year, $75,000 goal for a pediatric patient room and a labor and delivery triage room.
* Rogue Valley Medical Center: A two-year $45,000 goal for a HUGS Security System for the Pediatric Department. The HUGS system alerts the nursing station whenever a pediatric patient is within a few feet of an exit door.
