NAA and Foresters Help Children’s Miracle Network Hospital

On November 21, National Agents Alliance and Foresters helped raise more than a quarter of a million dollars for the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton, Ohio.
Organizers of the Foresters Fraternal event called it “a huge success.” Using volunteers from NAA and Foresters, the radiothon raised $262,658 for this Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.
In addition to staffing the phones during the event’s radiothon, the NAA agents also toured the children’s care facility and saw firsthand how the money will be used to meet the needs of the hospital’s young patients.

“Taking the tour made me want to do a lot more,” said Patrick Connors, one of eight NAA agents to assist with the fundraiser. “When we left, we had a new focus. Seeing that we can have an impact by giving a sliver of our time really opened my eyes. I’m so proud to be in business with National Agents Alliance and Foresters.”

Foresters and Children’s Miracle Network have a long-standing relationship based on a shared commitment to improving the health and well-being of children.

The funds raised in Dayton will be used for patient care equipment, including: a $36,000 giraffe bed in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit; a $6,000 bili-rubin monitor for the emergency room; a $113,500 total care bed for inpatients; and more than $17,000 of equipment for one of the hospital’s transport vehicles.

Dayton Children’s Hospital is a regional pediatric referral center and has nearly 250,000 visitors annually.

In addition to providing funds for the hospital, the radiothon also helped promote Foresters Strong Foundation and National Agents Alliance through co-branded marketing materials, including radio and newspaper advertisements.

In addition to Connors, the following NAA agents also participated: Alex Abuyuan, Carl Brown, Daniel Brown, Tim Byers, Cindy Byers, Doug Jackson, and Melissa Rinehart.
