Glass City FCU’s Crusade for a Cure
Glass City Federal Credit Union was recently named “Volunteer of the Year” for 2021 by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) Michigan/Northwest Ohio Chapter.
As the overall mission of credit unions is “people helping people,” Glass City FCU began partnering with CFF over twelve years ago when two grandchildren of one of Glass City’s senior leaders’ were diagnosed with CF. From that point on, the Glass City team has been determined to join the crusade to find a cure for CF.
Glass City continues to increase its support and involvement for CFF year after year. Employees and members of the credit union have supported CFF through various fundraisers including the Toledo “Great Strides” Walk. Last year, Glass City hosted a 65-day Employee Walk Challenge to raise additional funds for the Toledo Walk and were then deemed the highest fundraising team for the Toledo “Great Strides” event.
“We’re thrilled to receive the CFF “Volunteer of the Year” award for 2021 as our employees and membership have been very supportive of CFF over the years,” states CEO Mark Slates. He adds that the Employee Walk Challenge for CFF was so popular with the employee base last year that it is being offered again this Spring.
