$70,000 Donated To Cook Children's On Behalf Of FWISD
Cook Children’s Health Foundation is $70,000 richer – thanks to some Fort Worth ISD employees who took the time to view a new insurance plan.
CHUBB insurance recently presented the Foundation with a check on behalf of the District.
For every District employee who viewed CHUBB’s accidental injury insurance plan during FWISD’s benefits open enrollment period, July 24- August 24, the insurance company donated $10. Earlier this year, FWISD announced a new accidental insurance offering to employees through CHUBB.
The donation was made through a partnership with Benefits That Benefit Children, a program that supports select children’s hospitals.
Elsie Schiro, chief financial officer, Max Ates, senior officer for payroll, benefits and risk management, and Felicia Mouton, director of benefits, were in attendance for the check presentation at Cook Children’s Medical Center.
“Fort Worth ISD believes in every child and wants to prepare all students for success in college, career, and community leadership. The District is thankful for our long-term partnership with Cook Children’s Hospital as we continue to teach students while they are in-patients,” said Mr. Ates. “It was a pleasure to partner with CHUBB and Benefits that Benefit Children to further contribute to the health and well-being of our young population, so they can continue to learn. Children must be healthy to be able to learn which in turn will prepare them for success in college, career, and community leadership.”
The donation not only gives back to the community that supports the District and its students and families, but also provides unparalleled medical care and support to Cook Children’s patients and their families.
“Cook Children’s is committed to keeping the promise we made long ago to improve the health of every child in our region through the prevention and treatment of illness, disease and injury. To live up to that promise, Cook Children’s combines the art of caring with the use of leading technology and extraordinary collaboration to provide exceptional care for every child, every day,” said Erica L. Fischer, director and major gift officer for the Cook Children’s Health Foundation. “We would not be able to do this without the generous support of our community and partners like Fort Worth ISD.”
