BluFi has supported RCHSD since 2012 with toy drives and financial contributions, including a $50,000 donation last year. The hospital was selected by the company's executives and committee members from BluFi's charitable outreach program, BluFi Cares, because of RCHSD's efforts to care for the most seriously ill and fragile children.
"Our strong culture of giving and our passionate employees helped make our annual BBQ and Toy Drive a big success," said BluFi President and CEO, John Lee. "The driving force behind this event is a sincere appreciation for our staff and a heartfelt passion to support children in need. We are so proud we exceeded our goal for number of donated toys, and we look forward to another great year supporting our team and our community."
RCHSD is a nonprofit, 475-bed pediatric-care facility, the only hospital in the San Diego area dedicated exclusively to pediatric healthcare, and the region's only designated pediatric trauma center.
"We are so grateful for the continued outpouring of support from the BluFi Lending team," said Vice President, Development, Carol Damon-Scherer. "We especially appreciate partners like BluFi who consistently and generously stand by our kids. I know the patients will appreciate these wonderful new toys!"
Charitable efforts and activities have been a long standing tradition at BluFi Lending. In addition to the annual Toy Drive, BluFi has helped other non-profit organizations in the past years including the Salvation Army, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the Wounded Warrior Project, and others.
