BURNSVILLE, Minn.–Firefly Credit Union dedicated October to raising funds in support of The Firefly Sisterhood, an organization that fosters connections between women recently diagnosed with breast cancer and inspirational survivors.
Shortly after the credit union changed its name to Firefly, it was approached by The Firefly Sisterhood with admiration over the namesake and hopes that the two could join forces. Firefly Credit Union said it enjoys giving back to their community and this partnership became a great fit.
During Firefly Credit Union’s fundraiser month, employees were able to donate money and participate in many exciting activities. The charitable events included:
- Casual for a cause where employees enjoyed wearing jeans for a donation
- Bake Sale where employees participated in the baking and the buying of goods
- Hot Chocolate/Coffee Bar as a sweet treat to start the day
- Chili Cook-Off for employees to taste test and choose their favorite
With a month’s work and generous employee participation, Firefly Credit Union raised $2,231 to donate to The Firefly Sisterhood.
“We are always looking for more opportunities to give back to their community – and with a name like Firefly, we had no hesitation,” said Firefly Credit Union President/CEO Bill Raker. “This is a great organization, supporting a great cause and we are proud to share a name, and partnership with them.”
