PORTSMOUTH, N.H.– Service Credit Union employees once again joined forces with “New Hampshire Goes Red for Women Day” as part of National Wear Red Day to show their support for heart disease awareness.
National Wear Red Day is a national awareness campaign for women and men about heart disease sponsored by the American Heart Association. For the eighth straight year, Service Credit Union employees each donated $5 a piece toward the cause and participated in a dress down day at the credit union. Close to 150 employees took part in the event. Service Credit Union matched employee donations for a total of $1,500 contribution to the American Heart Association.
“Wear Red Day is a great opportunity to reach out to the communities we serve to alert them to the personal risk factors of heart disease. By wearing red and participating on February 5th, we personified our support for heart disease awareness.” said David Van Rossum, Chief Administration Officer at Service Credit Union.
