honored by Children’s Hospital Boston
FITCHBURG, MASSACHUSETTS, June 7, 2006 … Children’s Hospital Boston recently honored Fitchburg ME Federal Credit Union and a number of other sponsors of the Credit Unions of Massachusetts Kids at Heart program as part of a formal dedication of a new family lounge located in the hospital. Over the past 10 years, participants in the Kids at Heart program have raised approximately $2 million, with the lounge being the most recent fundraising focus.
In dedicating the new lounge, Dr. James Mandell, president/chief executive officer for Children’s, unveiled a permanent plaque recognizing Credit Unions of Massachusetts supporters, which reads: “Given with love to families of Children’s Hospital.
