Seventh Point makes strides to support local children’s hospital
Virginia Beach, VA – Seventh Point recently raised over $1,500 for the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters (CHKD) on June 13 at the 4th Annual RunWalk for the Kids. The agency’s team members participated in the 8k run component of the course beginning and ending at the CHKD location in Norfolk, VA.
More than 2,600 runners and walkers registered this year, which represented a 52 percent increase from 2008. The event had more teams, more individual runners, more walkers and more children in the Fun Run which raised more than $80,000 for CHKD. This money will support unique services like CHKD’s child abuse program. It will help the hospital purchase new equipment and offset the cost of providing care to our community’s neediest children.
“Seventh Point has always been pleased and more than willing to support Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters,” said Chris Calcagno, President of Seventh Point. “We are especially proud of all the members of our team, especially those who ran this course as their first race ever.”
The Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughter’s offers care and assistance to more than 250,000 children each year and is presently the only facility of its kind in Virginia. Founded in 1961 by the King’s Daughters, CHKD serves the medical and surgical needs of children throughout Hampton Roads, the Eastern Shore of Virginia and northeastern North Carolina.
The King’s Daughters support CHKD through its fundraising, volunteering and advocacy efforts. Last year the King’s Daughters donated more than $750,000 to CHKD. They currently have approximately 1,000 members throughout Hampton Roads.
