PEMBROKE PINES, Fla.–Power Financial Credit Union said it is partnering with former Miami Dolphin and Hall of Famer Jason Taylor on a “mission to champion financial empowerment throughout South Florida.”
“Rooted in the fundamental belief that the needs of its members come first, PFCU measures its success by the financial strength and wellbeing of its members and community,” the credit union said.
Power Financial added that its commitment to putting members first is underscored by its decision to eliminate overdraft fees, and that it is returning approximately $1 million annually members.
‘Cherished Values’
"We are thrilled to have Jason as a member of the Power Financial Credit Union family. He shares many of the credit union's most cherished values, including a deep commitment to family and community service. Jason had an illustrious career on the field, but his legendary impact off it has profoundly improved the lives of countless children in South Florida,” said Power Financial CU President and CEO Allan Prindle. “This is why he is a perfect fit for Power Financial Credit Union."
In 15 NFL seasons, Taylor amassed 139.5 quarterback sacks, ranking sixth all-time at his retirement. His 111 sacks from 2000-2009 made him the NFL's most prolific pass rusher of that decade
"I'm excited to join the Power Financial Credit Union family,” said Taylor. “Empowerment is at the center of our mission at the Jason Taylor Foundation, so I love that PFCU has been empowering its members by helping them reach their financial dreams for more than 70 years. It was clear to me that we have like-minded philosophies in our commitment to South Florida, which is the perfect place to begin a meaningful partnership."
Donation Made
In addition to the brand partnership, PFCU said it is making a $15,000 donation to the charity. According to the credit union, the mission of the Jason Taylor Foundation is to support and create programs that facilitate the personal growth and empowerment of South Florida's children in need by focusing on improved health care, education, and quality of life.
Since its inception in 2004, the foundation has contributed nearly $11 million to programs and services benefiting the region's youth.
