Golisano Children's Hospital at URMC Receives Check from ESL

Rochester, New York...On December 18, 2009, ESL Federal Credit Union presented the Golisano Children's Hospital at URMC with a $3,720 check representing funds raised during ESL's Spring and Summer 2009 free checking promotional campaigns. ESL Members who opened their first ESL FREE Checking account were offered the option of having ESL make a donation on their behalf to the Children's Hospital in lieu of receiving a promotional gift. This donation was a result of these initiatives.
