Raising money for kids using Facebook

The Franciscan Hospital for Children website tells the story of Jake, a nine year old boy who came to the Hospital for rehabilitation, after illness left him paralyzed. Today, Jake (pictured left) is on track to recover completely. His story, and so many others about The Franciscan Hospital’s patients and staff have inspired Cambridge Savings Bank over the years.

When we contacted the Hospital about partnering to raise money and awareness through social media, they were excited to give it a shot. We came up with a plan and set a goal–throughout August, we’ll donate $5 to Francsican Hospital for Children for every new like we get to our Facebook page, up to $5,000. Our hope is that during the month, we’ll develop a social media community that is invested in social responsibility and is eager to engage in great conversations.

Your support for FHC doesn’t need to stop at joining our Facebook community. There are other ways, like volunteering your time, you can give to the kids. Click here to learn more.
