Going The Extra Mile for Shriners Hospitals

62-mile bike trip raises funds for Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia

Shriners fraternity members Dan Heulitt and Mark Walsh, along with co-workers from Activant Solutions Inc. (ACT), bicycled from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, N.J.,  to raise funds and awareness for Shriners Hospital for Children.

Heulitt and Walsh presented a $5,340 donation check on behalf of the ACT team to Dr. James McCarthy, assistant chief of staff at the Philadelphia Shriners Hospital and member of LuLu Shriners.

“We are proud and honored to contribute to Shriners Hospital for Children,” said Heullitt.

Shriners Hospitals for Children is a one-of-a-kind international health care system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing specialty pediatric care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs. Children up to age 18 with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate are eligible for admission and receive all care in a family-centered environment at no charge – regardless of financial need. Shriners Hospitals relies on the generosity of donors such as Activant Solutions to deliver this mission every day.
