COBB EMC EMPLOYEES BUILD 30 WAGONS FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE OF ATLANTA Cobb EMC employees celebrated Valentine’s Day by delivering 30 bright red wagons to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite.

The wagons, which are equipped with IV poles, are used in lieu of wheelchairs to transport children who are hospitalized or undergoing chemotherapy or other treatments.

The wagons were built by Cobb EMC employees as a teambuilding and community giving project and were customized using Chad’s Bracket, a device that attaches IV poles to children’s wagons.
