Casual Friday Jeans Donations
Every Friday, the staff at Great Erie FCU can wear jeans with our Great Erie attire for a donation to the local communities. We contribute to the community with the money raised during the "Casual Friday" day here at Great Erie.
For the month of July, we supported Achilles International, Brooklyn, NY Chapter, with a $300 check from the credit union.
Achilles International, a global organization operating in 18 countries, including the US, transforms the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connections. Since its founding in 1983, they have empowered over 150,000 athletes of all ages and ability levels to participate in endurance events around the globe.
Achilles International’s portfolio of programs includes the Achilles Freedom Team which serves wounded military personnel and veterans; Achilles Kids which provides training, race opportunities, and an in-school program for children with disabilities; the TriAchilles Team which expands our running program into biking and swimming; Achilles Chapter workouts; and, our signature Hope & Possibility® race which takes place in several cities worldwide.
While the programs focus on running, the main objective has always been to bring hope, inspiration, and the joys of achievement to all.
The staff is thankful that they can make a small donation to help the community and local organizations ... it's the credit union philosophy ... "people helping people".
