TULLAHOMA, Tenn.–Ascend Federal Credit Union asked the community to join it in the fight to end blood-borne cancers by participating in Costumed for a Cure to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
On Oct. 31, Ascend employees from all over Middle Tennessee dressed up in their most creative Halloween costumes and brought in decorated pumpkins. Anyone who visited an Ascend branch could vote for their favorite costume or pumpkin with a donation.
The event raised $2,190 from employee and member donations — nearly $600 more than 2018. Over the past 13 years, this brings the total to $33,353, the credit union said.
“A hit with employees and members alike year after year, Ascend has become one of the top fundraising companies in Tennessee that participates in the LLS Costumed for a Cure charity event,” the credit union said.
