Credit Union Chapter Helps Raise Over $7,000 for Children's Miracle Network Hospital
February 18, 2014
Janesville, WI- Its not often you see competing businesses and community members work together for a common goal, but every year since 2003 thats exactly what happens during the Children's Miracle Network Bowl�A-Thon.
The South Central Chapter of Credit Unions (SCCCU) recruited approximately 11 teams to participate in the 11th Annual Childrens Miracle Network (CMN) Bowl-A-Thon and Silent Auction fundraiser on February 8th. We are pleased to announce that together we raised a total of $7,170.59 for CMN. Our gratitude goes to the sponsors, participants and volunteers that made this possible.
A portion of the monies raised were by the bowlers themselves as they asked friends and family to contribute pledges for the cause. Kristy Benedetti from Blackhawk Community Credit Union was our top fundraiser collecting more than $1,200.00.
The fun didnt end at bowling. Throughout the day bowlers participated in 50/50 raffles and door prize raffles. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Bowl-A-Thon, Silent Auction and Raffles go directly to the Childrens Hospital for the treatment of children with all types of afflictions, including cancer, accidents, muscle and heart disease, AIDS, cystic fibrosis and trauma.
Next years event will take place on Saturday, February 7th at Blackbridge Bowling Alley in Janesville. We hope to see you there!
