(May 28, 2014) -- In late April, Heritage Trust supported the American Cancer Society’s Summerville Relay For Life. This annual event raises community awareness and helps fund better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. This year, Heritage Trust donated $12,000 to Relay For Life through various fundraisers and their annual charity golf tournament.
“I am honored to work with such caring and giving individuals and I am proud of our employees for being so dedicated to this cause,” commented Jim McDaniel, CEO/President of Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union. “I am overwhelmed by the outreach and support our employees and members showed throughout the Relay For Life fundraising season.”
The Relay For Life is a yearly celebration that raises money and public awareness in the fight against cancer. At this event community members gather together to honor and remember mothers, fathers, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends and others who have been affected by this horrible disease. Over thirty Heritage Trust employees, families and friends attended this community event.
Funds raised at this event as well as through other fundraising efforts held throughout the year will benefit the American Cancer Society.
