Mountain America Donates $9,000 to Bingham Health Care Foundation
As a proud sponsor of the Idaho State Bengals, Mountain America Credit Union committed to donating to a charity for every three-pointer completed by the Bengals in the 2020 basketball season. This year, Mountain America supported the Bingham Health Care Foundation as the recipient of the Mountain America Three-Pointer Donation program.
As we near the final game of the season, the numbers are in, with the Bengals completing over 150 three-pointers during the 2020 season.
As a result, Mountain America Credit Union presented $9,000 to the Bingham Health Care Foundation during the Bengals final home game on February 27, 2020.
Jason Smith, vice president of corporate sponsorships and events for Mountain America, presented the check to Troy Eppich, chairman of the board of the Bingham Health Care Foundation, alongside representatives from the Bingham Health Care Foundation.
“It is an honor for the Bingham Health Care Foundation to receive financial support from Mountain America Credit Union,” said Troy Eppich, Bingham Health Care Foundation Board Chair. “Their donation will contribute to furthering the Foundation’s mission of ‘Enhancing healthcare and Enhancing lives.’ Each donation represents a community partnership that helps us to advance the health of our region. The Foundation has provided support to the Pocatello Free Clinic, Bingham Memorial Hospital, Project Linus, and Friends of Soda Spring City Park. Because of this generous donation, we can continue assisting other nonprofit organizations within our communities.”
“The Bingham Health Care Foundation supports a wide variety of critical health care programs across eastern Idaho,” says Sterling Nielsen, president and chief executive officer at Mountain America. “We are proud to support their work in providing innovative, compassionate and exceptional services to Idahoans.”
