Tidewater Chapter Donates $10,318 to CHKD

At its Sept. 8 meeting, the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Credit Union League donated $10,318.54 to Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters, the Norfolk-based Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. The Chapter raised the funds through its June charity golf tournament, with a matching contribution of $4,000 through the Co-op Miracle Match Program

The Tidewater Chapter held its 9th Annual Charity Golf Tournament on June 3, drawing 56 golfers and the support of numerous sponsors and business partners.

“We’re proud to have raised more than $136,300 for CHKD during the past nine tournaments, thanks to the support of our credit unions, golfers and sponsors,” noted Beach Municipal Federal Credit Union’s Leigh Ann Graham, chair of the Tidewater Chapter Golf Committee and a member of the Chapter’s Governing Board.

Attending the meeting to accept the check was CHKD representative Kathryn Nemeth, Stewardship & Donor Relations Coordinator, who thanked credit unions for their support and noted CHKD’s recent initiatives to serve its community, including the launch last year of a public fundraising campaign for a new mental health hospital and outpatient center.
