NEARLY $90,000 RAISED FOR CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK HOSPITALS AT THINK 12 CONFERENCE
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (May 2, 2012) – Nearly $90,000 was raised in donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at the THINK 12 Conference held April 29-May 2 in Boca Raton, Fla., including $75,000 from Transaction Network Services, Inc.
“The amount donated to CMNH during THINK 12 is a testimony to the people-helping-people ethic of the credit union movement,” said Stan Hollen, President/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services. “It’s not just a slogan, people in this industry really are committed to the well being of others.”
“TNS is focused on supporting organizations that help provide a brighter future for children,” said Mike Keegan, President/COO of TNS (www.tnsi.com), Reston, Va. “We initially became involved with the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals after seeing the passion of CO-OP and its credit union members for this important cause. We look forward to continuing our support of CMNH.”
A tradition of the THINK conferences, the 2012 meeting included three scheduled three charitable events during the morning of April 30. Activities included a golf tournament, a 5K Run/Walk and an “Interactive Cooking Challenge.” In the latter event, attendees donated $150 each to learn the art of using herbs and spices from one of the executive chefs of the Boca Raton Resort and Club, site of the conference. The amount contributed by participants to these three events totaled $4,716.
At the conference’s Gala & Dinner on May 1, host CO-OP Financial Services of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. (www.co-opfs.org) donated a further $10,000. This is in addition to the $1 million CO-OP Financial Services donates on behalf of its member institutions to Credit Unions for Kids fundraisers annually. TNS’ Keegan then stepped forward at the gala to present the check from TNS for $75,000 to CMNH.
The May 1 donations by the two companies combined with the April 30 events to bring the total to $89,716 for the THINK 12 conference.
