The Children’s Hospital Foundation announced Wednesday that Richmond-based Estes Express Lines donated $150,000 — with another $1.85 million committed from the Estes family — to support the construction of the Wonder Tower at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.
The 16-story Wonder Tower will be home to the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU’s pediatric trauma center, emergency room, inpatient units, operating rooms and space for imaging and family amenities.
The two Estes donations were matched by the Children’s Hospital Foundation, bringing the total investment to $4 million. The hospital is running a campaign to raise $100 million for the project, and the foundation is matching the first $25 million in community contributions. Estes Express Lines provides freight shipping services to regional, national, international and global clients.
