CAPITOLA, Calif.– Bay Federal Credit Union members and employees raised $11,285 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County during its annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake pledge drive.
Twenty-one teams of Bay Federal employees and their families filled the Boardwalk Bowl to support the organization and donate funds at the annual event. Bay Federal has participated in the Bowl for Kids’ Sake pledge drive for 28 consecutive years.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County, which pairs adult volunteer mentors with at-risk youths in the community, uses the money to pay for operating costs and ongoing support for children and families in its program. All the money raised for Bowl for Kids’ Sake stays local.
“I am so thankful to our employees and our members for their generosity towards this wonderful organization,” said Bay Federal Credit Union President and CEO Carrie Birkhofer. “Our annual drive supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County is a yearly highlight for Bay Federal, and the amount raised this year is astounding.”
