MIDLAND, Mich.– Dow Chemical Employees’ Credit Union staff members raised $325 to support earthquake relief efforts in Nepal through its most recent “Jeans Day for Charity” fundraiser. For each of the one-day fundraisers throughout the year, participating DCECU employees donate a minimum of $5, which entitles them to wear blue jeans, tennis shoes and logoed attire to work that day. The funds are being donated to the World Council of Credit Unions for its work with the Nepal Federation of Savings & Credit Cooperative Unions and Association of Asian Confederation Credit Unions to provide relief.
“The credit union is proud to support charitable efforts – not just at the local level, but also internationally,” said DCECU President/CEO Dennis Hanson. “The earthquake in Nepal was devastating, and our employees wanted to do what they could to help.”
Thus far in 2015, DCECU employees have raised more than $1,400 for charitable and community organizations through regular Jeans Day for Charity fundraisers.
