2013 Beaumont Cares For Kids Radiothon 6Ferndale, Michigan Credit Union ONE literally was on the line at the 2013 WDVD 96.3 Cares for Kids Radiothon which took place on Friday, April 26th at Beaumont Health Systems Royal Oak Campus.�This year Credit Union ONE was the Phone Bank Sponsor, and provided on-site phone coverage at the radiothon and also a back-up phone bank to handle overflow calls that otherwise would have been lost from their headquarters in Ferndale, Michigan.� Over 35 credit union employees volunteered to work the phones during the event. In addition, the credit union contributed a Power Hour donation of $5,000 and will receive matching funds from the Co-Op Financial Services Miracle Match Program, bringing the total to $10,000 for the Radiothon.� Credit union members were also encouraged to call in during the Power Hour to have their donation matched. At the end of the Radiothon it was announced that over $152,000 was raised, which exceeded their goal for the event.� "We are happy we were once again able to lend support to such a worthy cause as the Childrens Miracle Network and partner with Beaumont Childrens Hospital in their endeavors to raise much needed funds," said Gary Moody, President/CEO. The Radiothon in its sixth year, for the Beaumont Childrens Hospital and Childrens Miracle Network (CMN) is held to raise funds to provide lifesaving equipment, specialized pediatric programs, and charity care to help thousands of kids in metropolitan Detroit.
