DCECU employees kick off 2015 fundraisers, support Wounded Warrior Project®
MIDLAND, MI (February 18, 2015) — Employees at Dow Chemical Employees’ Credit Union raised $385 for the Wounded Warrior Project® through their most recent “Jeans Day” fundraiser. For each of the one-day fundraisers throughout the year, participating DCECU employees donate a minimum of $5, which entitles them to wear blue jeans, tennis shoes and logoed attire to work that day.
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) serves veterans and military service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness or wound related to their service on or after September 11, 2001. The WWP also serves families of these individuals. The project’s mission is to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members; to help injured service members aid and assist each other; and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members.
“Our staff at DCECU truly believes in giving back and works hard to serve not only our credit union members, but the entire community. The ‘Jeans Day’ fundraisers are completely driven by the passion of our employees,” said DCECU President/CEO Dennis Hanson. “By supporting philanthropic and service-based organizations, we are able to assist those who need it most. And in the case of the Wounded Warrior Project, it is a particular privilege to honor the sacrifices these service members and veterans have made for all of us.”
