Once again, Heritage Trust supported the Muscular Dystrophy Association through its Shamrocks Against Dystrophy fundraiser this March. This year, Heritage Trust raised over $6,000 for the MDA.
"I am honored to work with such caring and giving individuals and I am proud of our employees for being so dedicated to this cause," commented Jim McDaniel, CEO/President of Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union. "I am overwhelmed by the outreach and support our employees and members showed throughout the MDA fundraising season. In just four short weeks we were able to collect enough funds to give eight children the opportunity to experience the joys of MDA Summer Camp."
Funds raised during the program will help send children affected by neuromuscular diseases to the local MDA summer camp, Camp Ebenezer. This one-of-a-kind camp offers a variety of activities specially designed for young people with limited mobility or who use medical equipment such as wheelchairs. Camp Ebenezer gives campers and their family members the opportunity to share interests and build self-confidence alongside those dealing with similar challenges.
