Craig Freyenberger, Treasurer
About Craig :
“BCH has been a huge blessing in my life! I’ve been at BCH since 2015, and it’s so amazing to work at a place where I can see God move in the lives of children! I get the privilege of talking with donors and I am thrilled to hear their stories and hear their passion to support the ministry.
Our donors walk along with us to help hurting children get the care that they need to thrive. These conversations remind me about my purpose at BCH to keep track of finances so that we can be good stewards of all that God has given us.
At home, I have a beautiful wife and 4 energetic boys. I love watching and playing sports. Although basketball is my favorite to play, my favorite professional team is the Chicago White Sox. One of my bucket list goals is to visit all the Major League Baseball parks.“
