In all, some $13,000 was raised.
The Recipients

In addition, the $3.06-billion credit union said Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha (APM) will also receive a grant to further its financial education initiatives.
TruMark Financial said Joe Becker, Jim Finucane, and Mark Schmidt from TruMark Financial “went above and beyond in their fundraising efforts.”
Other sponsors included Freedom Mortgage, Kershner Office Furniture, State National, and PSCU.
