Donation tags now available throughout Tri-State to help support CHH's Children's Hospital project
Last updated: 11/27/2009
This year, holiday shoppers have an opportunity to help give the Huntington/Tri-State area a state-of-the-art facility for children's health care at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Merchants throughout the Tri-State are now selling Children's Hospital donation tags in their stores for $1 each. The Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation has embarked on a fundraising campaign with a goal of $12 million to build a Children's Hospital on the hospital campus by transforming pediatrics areas and by creating an exclusive entrance from Hal Greer Boulevard for children and their families, and the donation tags are part of that campaign.
"The response to our donation tag program has been overwhelming," said Velma Workman, Development Outreach Coordinator for the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation. "We only began last week, and nearly 100 locations have already partnered with us to make the dream of a children's hospital come true. I would like to thank all of our partners, and our tag sponsor Advantage Toyota. We encourage everyone to visit our partner retailers to show your support for this much-needed facility.”
Donation tags will be displayed throughout the Tri-State in store windows to display the community's support for such a facility for local infants and children. To find out how to become a business partner or how you can help build the dream, please call Velma Workman at (304) 526-6314 or use the Children's Hospital button on the home page. A full list of participating merchants is also available online.
