TCT Federal Credit Union’s “Care for Kids”
campaign raised money to benefit the pediatric
patients of the two area hospitals within their
service area of Saratoga, Warren and Washington
counties.
TCT and their members have a history raising
money for the Children’s Miracle Network. Those
funds go to Albany Medical Center’s Children’s
Hospital, which is part of the Children’s Miracle
Network. This past year in addition to those
fundraisers, TCT wanted to do something for
the pediatric patients in the hospitals located
in their tri-county service area, company officials
said.
The intention, the company said, was to
raise funds for Saratoga Hospital, plus give the
hospital a supply of TCT Care for Kids stuffed
animals that they would then give to sick or
injured children to alleviate their fears when
they were admitted into the hospital or visited the emergency room.
TCT staff and members raised funds through
the sale of logo wear and the TCT Care for Kids
stuffed animal for 2014. TCT began its 2015 Care
for Kids campaign in March with the introduction
of “Luka” the Lion. “Luka” can be purchased
in any one of their branch locations for $10.
Presenting a check and a supply of stuffed
animals to Saratoga Hospital were Kelly Rowland,
branch manager of Milton and Irv Hilts,
director of community relations for TCT Federal
Credit Union.
