Bellevue Merchants Association Donates Funds to Children’s Hospitals 

07.2024

The Bellevue Merchants Association (BMA) on July 18 presented Children’s Hospital of Richmond and the Shriners Children’s Hospital with separate checks. Each check was for $1200. The BMA, which recently disbanded, is required by law to disburse any remaining funds in their account to other 501(c)(3) entities.

The BMA, made up of local business owners, has spearheaded Bellevue’s National Night Out and Christmas on MacArthur, as well as other neighborhood initiatives, for well over a decade. The Bellevue Civic Association will now host and sponsor both Christmas on MacArthur and National Night Out, with the help of former members of the Bellevue Merchants Association.
