LOWELL, Mass.– Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union named the Army Spc. Mathew G. Boule Memorial Park Fund as the latest winner of its Give-A-Click Campaign.
The campaign runs every quarter on the Credit Union’s We Share a Common Thread Foundation website. Community members visit the site to read about worthy non-profit organizations and vote for their favorite one. The charity with the most votes is awarded a $1,500 donation from the Foundation. New charities are posted every quarter and people of the community, Jeanne D’Arc members, employees and the organizations’ supporters are encouraged to visit WeShareACommonThread.org to help their favorite nonprofits gain a much-needed donation, the CU stated.
The Mathew G. Memorial Park Fund shared dozens of Facebook posts, encouraged their supporters to vote and even created postcards with QR codes so people could easily visit the voting site, the CU explained.
“People would email me and let me know that they voted. One person from England and another from Africa voted,” said Sue Boule, president of the Memorial Park Fund.
“The support has been amazing,” said Emily Farnham, treasurer. “You really get to see the power of the community and just how widespread it is,” she added.
The park, located at 1200 Lakeview Avenue in Dracut, is slated to be open for use on November 5, 2016.
