In 2023, Curt Johnson (Treasurer) of the WMUA made a visit to the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital to make its annual visit and donation to the HDCH Foundation as part of the Officials for Kids program.   This past year in 2023, the members collectively donated $1,577.00 to be used as the institution sees needs.   Click here to see thank you letter.  Foundation representative, Devin Pierson offers this message to all donors...Kids are unique and special. At Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, we know children are not small adults. They have different physical, developmental and emotional needs requiring the care of specialist trained in pediatrics. Your support helps fund kid’s care, provide kids and families with supportive programs and enables research and innovation for kids.  Thank you so much for your continued partnership!
