ST. PAUL, MN (November 15, 2021) — Hiway Credit Union Foundation, an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization established by Hiway Credit Union® (Hiway), raised more than $80,000 at the credit union’s Fourth Annual Curling Fundraising Event.
The event was held at the St. Paul Curling Club on November 4, 2021, a return after last year’s virtual event.
