Newark Elks Lodge #391 members accepted a challenge from 46 year member John Edly. John asked the members to step forward and match his personal $500 donation to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The nationally ranked pediatric acute care and teaching hospital has over 68 sites across Ohio and serves 15 million patients visits per year.
The lodge members not only met John’s challenge, but raised over $2,000 bringing the combined total donation to $2588. The month long challenge ended on August 31st.
It is John’s wish that lodges across Ohio will join in and donate to this hospital treating our most ill children.
