The Delta Companies recently exceeded their goal of $60,000 in donations for the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in 2009 and will donate a total of over $65,000 to the facility this holiday season.
The donation will be split into three types of funding for the facility. A portion of the donation will be provided in the form of a check to the hospital’s orthotics department to purchase custom-made orthoses to patients with special orthopedic needs. Part of the donation will fund “Camp Just Like Me,” a one-week camp for patients who have been diagnosed with the rare congenital disorder arthrogryposis. Finally, a percentage of the donation will be given in the form of educational toys delivered to the hospital by The Delta Companies employees.
More than doubling the amount raised last year, employees of The Delta Companies raised donations for the hospital through a number of events this year. Most recently the staffing firm held a silent auction with the help of over 100 local businesses, raising over a third of the total amount to be donated to the hospital.
The toy delivery and check presentation will take place at the hospital on Friday, December 18, at 10:30a.m.
