The Delta Companies donates over $100,000 to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 14, 2012 - Today The Delta Companies donated a check for $100,044 to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC), exceeding the company’s original 2012 philanthropy goal of $91,008.

TSRHC has been the focal recipient of The Delta Companies’ philanthropy initiatives for the past five years. The company holds multiple fund raising activities for employees and the public throughout the year, attracting sponsorships and donations from participants throughout the community. This year, the company’s annual golf tournament generated over a quarter of the philanthropy goal, and most recently, the company’s annual silent auction brought in 150 items from sponsors in the area.

The donation will be split into funding for equipment, as well as operation of “Camp Just Like Me,” a one-week camp for patients who have been diagnosed with the rare congenital disorder arthrogryposis. Also, a percentage of the donation will be given in the form of educational toys delivered to the hospital by The Delta Companies employees.

“Fifty percent of our company’s core ideology statement focuses on humanity and putting people first in all situations,” said The Delta Companies CEO Jeff Bowling. ”Today, we are able to do exactly that by supporting an amazing organization. Because of the participation and dedication of employees and donors involved in this process, we not only exceeded our year-end goal, but also allowed ourselves to become a contributing part of an altruistic and exceptional organization like TSRHC.”
