Credit Union Supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
April 19, 2013
First Community Credit Union of Jamestown, ND recently held fundraisers for St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.� Valentines Day bake sales were held at the following branches: Bismarck, Jamestown, Milnor, Portland and Valley City. All of FCCUs 14 branches sold pinups for $1. They also held book and movie drives for members and the community to bring in new childrens books, coloring books, crafts and DVDs for children staying at St. Judes as their stays are often for long periods of time. These items help to entertain the kids and help pass the time. Collectively, more than $1500 was raised and hundreds of items were donated to the drive, all for the children at St. Judes!
St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. Discoveries made there have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of todays most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly.
