The Kids-N-Hope Foundation announced $602,500 in annual contributions to local hospitals and organizations.
Since its inception more than 25 years ago, the Foundation has raised and donated more than $3.7 million for pediatric therapy programs in the Philadelphia region, including more than $3.3 million for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“Music therapy and similar Child Life, Education and Creative Arts Therapy support services are crucial to a patient’s care experience and CHOP relies on the generosity of donors, like American Heritage and the Kids-N-Hope Foundation, to provide these offerings to our patients and families who need it,” said Tim Johnson, Senior Director of Corporate Leadership Giving at CHOP. “We truly appreciate this longstanding partnership and the investment they make in our children and families in our care.”
Organizations that received funding included Catholic Community Services, CORA Services, Federation Early Learning Services, KenCrest and Special People In Northeast.
“The Kids-N-Hope Foundation made a commitment to make a difference in the lives of children over 25 years ago,” said Bruce K. Foulke, founder and chairman of the Kids-N-Hope Foundation and president and CEO of American Heritage Credit Union. “I am so proud of the work our volunteers and Board of Directors have done this past year. The Foundation is excited for the upcoming year’s fundraising opportunities for all of our beneficiaries, and we look forward to supporting these wonderful organizations.”
