"When we were given the opportunity as a corporate partner to select the recipient of the assist donation program, my first thought was Akron Children's Hospital," said Jack Elgin, one of the managing partners at Longbridge Wealth Advisors. "The professionals there have provided remarkable care for my children over the years and this community is truly fortunate to have a facility of its caliber. All of us at Longbridge are grateful for the opportunity to team up with the Canton Charge and show our appreciation for such an asset to our community."
