NRG’s Choose to Give program launched at Boston Children’s
Hospital in 2017, and contributions support the hospital’s Every
Child Fund to provide lifesaving treatments and research
breakthroughs to future generations of children.
“We’re delighted to recognize NRG’s generous support,” said
Michael Bornhorst, Vice President, Corporate Development,
Leadership Giving & Special Events at Boston Children’s
Hospital Trust. “Every dollar contributed through this program
supports our Every Child Fund, answering the urgent call to end
childhood disease and give children the very best
gift—adulthood.”
When NRG customers enroll through the Choose to Give electricity
plan, NRG contributes $50 to Boston Children’s Hospital. In
addition, NRG contributes 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
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.
“Our longstanding partnership with Boston Children’s Hospital is
extremely important to us at NRG,” said Mike Rombach, Vice
President and General Manager of NRG Home. “We are especially proud
that these contributions continue to support the vital work done at
the hospital through the Every Child Fund, ensuring children can
have a healthier tomorrow.
“We are proud to offer our customers a simple way to support the
great work done at Boston Children’s Hospital when they turn on
their lights, run their washing machine, and watch TV,” Rombach
added.
Since 2017, NRG’s Choose to Give program has empowered customers
to support local nonprofits simply through paying their electricity
bills. To date, NRG and its customers have contributed more than
$15 million to local organizations across the country through the
program.
