BOCA RATON – State Representative Bill Hager, R-Boca Raton, recently donated more than $7,000 of unspent 2010 campaign funds to local and state charities.
The local charities, which assist children, families and seniors within District 87 represented by Hager, include Boca Helping Hands, the C.R.O.S. Ministries Caring Kitchen, ARC Broward County and the George Snow Scholarship Fund. The Florida charities include the Children’s Miracle Network and the Mayo Foundation for medical education and research.
“I am glad my unused campaign funds can be given to these reputable charities to support their positive efforts,” said Hager. “I specifically chose these various charities because of the tremendous work they do for the community-at-large, and I am confident the funds will be put to good use.”
Hager was elected to his first term in the Florida State House of Representatives last November and represents District 87, which includes coastal portions of southern Palm Beach County and a northern portion of Broward County.
