PenFed Credit Union just announced the arrival of their 7th veteran service dog, Ace! As a part of PenFed’s philanthropic focus on supporting the military community, the company partners with America’s VetDogs to foster and train dogs who will one day graduate to provide necessary care to a military veteran or first responder with a disability.
Ace is a yellow Labrador Retriever (pictured below) who will be trained by PenFed’s VP and Chief Content Officer Andrea McCarren. McCarren grew up in a military family, so raising service dogs for military servicemen has a profoundly personal meaning to her. So much so that Ace will be the 4th one she has raised!
This is the perfect story to show how credit unions are truly invested in their communities by highlighting how PenFed is uplifting veteran heroes.
Ace is confident and fully prepared to be interviewed alongside McCarren and/or PenFed CEO James Schenck to discuss this program and the importance of community engagement if you are interested. Let me know if you would want me to set up any interviews - I am happy to do so!
