Solarity Credit Union’s president and CEO, Mina Worthington, was thrilled to gift four-year-old Jeremiah with a brand new, electric toy Jeep! In addition, Solarity donated $40,000 to the Memorial Foundation, which ensures kids like Jeremiah get the care and services they need.
Jeremiah, a pediatric patient at MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital, was born seven weeks early at 33 weeks gestation in 2020. At birth, Jeremiah weighed only 3 pounds 14 ounces, and his lungs were not completely developed. He spent the first 30 days of his life being treated in the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). 
"Solarity is proud to support the mission of the Memorial Foundation. We are committed to making the Yakima Valley a safe and healthy place to live," said Worthington.
The ceremonial check represents a donation raised in 2023 under the Credit Unions for Kids (CU4Kids) program, a national credit union initiative that raises funds and awareness for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®. Solarity Credit Union has supported children’s health services through the Memorial Foundation for more than 30 years.
"We are grateful for the continued support from Solarity Credit Union and their members," says Erin Black, Memorial Foundation CEO. "Solarity's unwavering commitment to children's health in our community has ensured our smallest patients receive the care, support and opportunities to thrive close to home."
Enjoy your new wheels, Jeremiah!
