HUNTSVILLE, Ala.–Redstone Federal Credit Union teamed up with Santa Claus to put a little something extra in some members’ accounts during December.
Members enrolled in Redstone Round Up were randomly selected to receive $100 automatically deposited into their Brighter Day Savings account. Ten lucky members were selected each day during December. Redstone surprised 310 members and gave out a total of $31,000.
Ashley Bradford of Decatur was one of those lucky recipients and she said the gift was much needed.
“That was very thoughtful of Redstone and it meant a lot me. I’m a single parent, unable to work and this was something that really touched me,’’ Bradford said. “To some, $100 may not seem like a lot of money, but it goes a long way when you live on a fixed income,’’ she said.
Redstone Round Up is an automated savings program that rounds up a member’s debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and deposits the funds into a Brighter Day Savings account.
