Amway Heirs Donate 50M to Childrens Hospital

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Dick DeVos and his three siblings have donated a combined 50 (m) million dollars toward the construction of a new children's hospital.

The Republican gubernatorial candidate is the son of Amway co-founder and billionaire Rich DeVos and his wife, Helen.

Each of the DeVos children has pledged 12-and-a-half (m) million dollars toward the 190 (m) million-dollar project.

The Helen DeVos Children's Hospital is expected to open in late 2010.

It will be four times larger than the existing DeVos Children's Hospital that opened in 1993.

That hospital was largely made possible by a five (m) million dollar gift from Rich and Helen DeVos.
