More than $3,000 has been raised in the first months of a partnership between Fruth Pharmacy and the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation to donate five cents for each gallon of milk sold in Fruth Pharmacy locations in support of the Children's Hospital project. Lynne Fruth, Chairman of the Fruth Board of Directors, recently presented Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation officials with the first donations from this year-long project expected to raise $25,000.
"It is a privilege to help support this very important project for the children of our area," Fruth said. "Our customers have been very excited about being able to participate in helping to build the Children's Hospital by purchasing milk at Fruth."
The amount raised so far has exceeded expectations and given Fruth customers an easy way to be involved in the Children's Hospital project.
"When Fruth Pharmacy came to us with this idea to contribute to our Children's Hospital project, they were our first business partner to create a way to participate in our fund-raising," said Velma Workman, Development Outreach Coordinator for the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation. "We are grateful to all the Fruth customers who are supporting us."
