MALVERN, PA — Rajant Corporation has generously donated $75,000 to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to bolster its Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Center. This facility is crucial in offering long-term heart and lung support to patients when conventional treatments fail, underscoring the significant role corporate philanthropy can play in advancing healthcare.
Robert Schena, CEO and Co-founder of Rajant, emphasized the company’s commitment to child welfare globally: “One of Rajant’s corporate responsibility initiatives is supporting the welfare of children worldwide. This donation furthers CHOP’s work as a world-class hospital that relies on philanthropic gifts to fund vital breakthroughs such as the ECMO Center.”
The funds were raised in October 2023 during Rajant’s fourth annual “Rajant World Music Benefit.” This charity event, which blends music and community support, featured performances by The Mavericks, The No Name Pops, Tequila Rock Revolution, and James Valenti. The event not only entertained but also inspired attendees to contribute to CHOP’s life-saving efforts.
Dr. Todd Kilbaugh, a critical care physician and medical director of the ECMO Center at CHOP, expressed gratitude for Rajant’s support: “We are grateful for Rajant Corporation’s philanthropic support of CHOP’s ECMO Center. As a corporate partner, they support our life-saving technology and scientific advances in extracorporeal life support. The employees of Rajant have shown an ongoing commitment to philanthropy and have made a difference in the lives of some of our sickest patients.”
This donation is set to aid CHOP in delivering cutting-edge care, ensuring that the hospital remains at the forefront of medical innovation and patient care. Rajant’s contribution highlights the power of corporate involvement in enhancing healthcare outcomes for critically ill children.
