RADCLIFF, KY (March 7, 2018) — Fort Knox Federal Credit Union team members were recently recognized by the United Way of Central Kentucky for increasing their total donations by over 100% during 2017.
Team members went above and beyond this year to invest in the community. In addition to donating $20,000 financially, Fort Knox Federal staff also donated their time to volunteer on the United Way’s Board of Directors, Community Investment Team, and Marketing Committee.
“I’ve been active in the United Way myself for four years now and I’m incredibly proud of my team members for their involvmeent. Fort Knox Federal Credit Union wants the Central Kentucky community to succeed and by supporting the United Way, we’re helping ensure that happens,” says Ray Springsteen, CEO of Fort Knox Federal Credit Union and 2017 Community Investment Team Chair for United Way of Central Kentucky.
“United Way’s work is 100% locally-funded, which means we could not change the odds for families without partners like Fort Knox Federal Credit Union.” said Megan Stith, President & CEO of United Way of Central Kentucky. “To see their employees generously answer our community’s call to action is truly humbling. Their mission of ‘People Helping People’ comes to life through our collaboration, which has a lasting impact on our region.”
Kendrick Walker, Senior Creative Lead for Fort Knox Federal’s Marketing Department knows about the impact of the United Way in his community firsthand. “United Way invests in the community and impacts so many individuals and schools – the sky’s the limit,” said Walker. “My grandmother was put on the list to receive a Habitat for Humanity House and the United Way was part of the program at that time, so it directly impacted our family.”
