CASE Credit Union recently donated more than $4,500 to Ele’s Place – a local healing center that creates awareness of and support for grieving children, teens and their families.
“When a child experiences a life-changing situation, the impact is emotionally devastating and has a profound effect on his or her life,” said Cindy Kangas, director of development of Ele’s Place. “We are so thankful for the employees at CASE Credit Union to help ensure that there is a supportive environment for children and their families who are facing hardships.”
From January through March, CASE employees had the opportunity to raise funds for Ele’s Place through special events and activities, including bake sales, participating in “Dress Down for Charity” days, partnering with AmazonSmile and more.
“Together we are building a stronger tomorrow by strengthening the community in which we live and work in,” said Jeffrey Benson, president and CEO of CASE Credit Union. “These past few months demonstrate the efforts of our employees who proudly support Ele’s Place’s mission.”
CASE hosted a formal check presentation for Ele’s Place on Wednesday, April 24, at 8:30 a.m. during an all-staff meeting.
