FNB_325MCGREGOR, Texas (September 14, 2015)   Methodist Children’s Home (MCH) has been named a Charity Champion by The First National Bank – “Your Bank for Life.”

As a Charity Champion, MCH will be the focus of a marketing campaign funded by the bank.  The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of MCH, and more importantly, to drive support to the nonprofit. 

MCH is in need of monetary donations to support the children and families in its care. Specifically, MCH asks for contributions to: 1.) Fund its residential campus athletic program, and 2.) Support the Waco MCH Family Outreach program, which offers a variety of in-home and community based services designed to build stronger families.

“It is an honor for Methodist Children’s Home to be selected as the first Charity Champion of the 2015 season, especially as we commemorate our 125th anniversary of offering hope to children, youth and families,” said Tim Brown, president and CEO of Methodist Children’s Home. “Whether it is through our residential youth programs or our Family Outreach offices providing valuable in-home and community based services, MCH is committed to building stronger and healthier families.”

In addition to marketing, MCH’s staff and leadership team will have the opportunity to participate in an executive training program that is also funded by the bank. Led by 360 Solutions, trainees will examine their organization’s long-term strategy, the roles and responsibilities of the teams, and evaluate the skills needed to be a successful nonprofit organization.

The bank’s Charity Champion presentation to MCH occurred during the third quarter of the Lamar vs Baylor football game on September 12, 2015.

“Methodist Children’s Home has been a champion for children, teens and families for many, many years,” said David Littlewood, president, The First National Bank.  “With a long and well-respected history in Central Texas, the bank is honored to welcome MCH into the Charity Champion family.”
