The Hughes Federal Credit Union and Banner Children’s fall school supply drive resulted in generous support from Pima County residents, whose donations of cash and education essentials were recently delivered to Banner Children’s hospital school.

Donations of notebooks, pencils, folders, books, and even sensory tools for patients on the autism spectrum will be used to help children stay engaged in their education while hospitalized or coping with learning challenges.

“We want to thank our employees, customers, and locals for their heartfelt support of local hospitalized children,” said Hughes’ president and general manager, Robert J. Swick.
