InRoads program has raised over $431,000 for local schools
ST. HELENS, OR (June 27, 2023) — The InRoads Credit Union Team Up for Schools program has raised more than $431,000 for local high schools, with the help of its members.
Now in its sixth year, the InRoads Team Up for Schools program encourages members to use a special, co-branded debit card featuring one of three high school mascots for St. Helens, Scappoose and Rainier high schools. When members use their card for a purchase, InRoads contributes 5¢ to the member’s favorite school. The more members utilize the cards, the more money that goes to the schools. Members have helped raise $97,671 for the 2022/23 school year.
“It’s an honor to help our local schools,” stated Nathan Cox, InRoads President/CEO. “Our members love being able to support their favorite school, and the schools really appreciate the extra funds. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
This year, St. Helens High School has received $50,661.15, Scappoose High School received $35,574.90 and Rainier High School has gotten a total of $11,435.20.
“Scappoose High School is privileged and thankful for the support and partnership with InRoads Credit Union and our community,” said Scappoose High School Principal, Jerimy Kelley. “We have been able to use the funds to enhance the student experience at SHS in many ways. Thank you so much for the continued partnership and support of our students and school.”
Kelley went on to say that the funds supported student and staff initiatives including field trips to enhance experiential learning, college credit opportunities, a stadium scoreboard, and more. In addition, Team Up for Schools funds provided students the opportunity to learn hand wood carving to make their own paddles in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde.
