LendKey Raises $5,000 for NCUF’s CUAid with Goodwill Wall at GAC
WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 28, 2013)–The small gesture of sharing an individual business card resulted in a large outpouring of support for victims of Hurricane Sandy at this year’s CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.
LendKey Technologies ended up donating $5,000 to CUAid—the credit union disaster relief fund managed by the National Credit Union Foundation—after pledging a $5 donation for every business card pinned to the Goodwill Wall in its booth in the exhibit hall.
“We sincerely thank all of the GAC attendees that took the time to visit our booth and support Hurricane Sandy relief efforts,” said Vince Passione, CEO of LendKey. “Our employees, and many of our clients, were in areas hit the hardest by the storm. We’re happy to contribute $5,000 toward helping the victims recover fully.”
Headquartered in New York, and with offices in Ohio, LendKey is a CUNA Strategic Services alliance provider that offers a cloud-based lending platform for credit unions to make private student loans to their members.
