AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – The Merchants Association of Columbia County presented a check of $150,000 Wednesday to the Children's Hospital of Georgia from proceeds raised in the Columbia County Spring Fair.
'Everyone who has experienced having a sick child, we want to make sure that they can reinvest in the healthcare that takes care of sick children,' said Dr. Ralph Turner, president of Wellstar MCG Health at the check presentation on May 7. 'The Merchants Association has been wonderful with supporting us. They did last year, they're doing it this year. And it is one of those things, that when you want into one of our facilities and you go into our NICU or you go into our PICU and you see some of the sick kids, immediately you want to do all you can to support them.'
