- Customers can create healthier tomorrows for
children simply by paying their electric bill -
NRG today formally unveiled a new partnership with Boston
Children’s Hospital as part of its Choose to Give program,
which allows NRG customers to support local nonprofits through
their electricity plan.
Under this plan, NRG contributes $50 to Boston Children’s
Hospital for every customer that enrolls, approximately one month
after enrollment. In addition, NRG will contribute one percent of
each customer’s electricity supply charges to Boston Children’s
Hospital annually for as long as the customer remains on the plan.
Besides helping our children’s health, those who enroll will also
get the peace of mind that comes with locking in a predictable
electricity supply price for 12 months.
Boston Children’s Hospital, one of the leading pediatric
hospitals in the U.S., is the first nonprofit in Massachusetts to
partner in the program and to receive contributions from NRG.
“We are so grateful for the generosity of NRG,” said Carola
Cadley, Vice President, Corporate Development and Special Events,
Boston Children’s Hospital Trust. “Every dollar contributed through
their program has 100% impact, furthering the hospital’s mission to
treat all children, no matter what condition they face.”
“Boston Children’s Hospital is absolutely vital to the health
and well-being of children and families across the region and
beyond,” said Mike Starck, NRG general manager and Boston native.
“We are proud to offer our customers a simple way to support the
great work done by the doctors, nurses, and staff at Boston
Children’s Hospital.”
The Choose to Give program first launched in 2016 to
Pennsylvania customers, benefiting several regional nonprofits
including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
