Riley Holiday Cards on Sale

Wabash County Farm Bureau Credit Union will be participating in the Children's Light Up a Child's Life Campaign by selling Holiday cards this Christmas season.

The cards were designed by children while they were patients at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis and will be on sale at all WCFBCU offices through Christmas Eve. A variety pack of 10 cards containing five different card designs will costs $5 each. All proceeds will go to the Light Up a Child's Life Campaign fund.

Last year, Indiana's credit unions raised $20,000 for the hospital through card sales. The Light Up a Child's Life Campaign funds projects that make Riley Hospital for Children different from those used by the general public such as pain management programs, advocacy, and closed-circuit educational programming.
