Credit Union Supports WYDOT Relief Fund with Donation of $2,500
July 30, 2013
WyHy recently presented a $2500 check to WYDOT in support of the Wyoming Transportation Department Employees Association (WTDEA) Relief Fund. The funds for the donation were generated through WyHys affinity credit card program. WyHy offers credit cards featuring the WYDOT and Wyoming Highway Patrol logos and puts $5 toward the Employee Relief Fund for every new credit or debit card issued. Regardless of the number of cards opened, WyHy has committed to donating a minimum of $2500 annually.
This donation may assist up to five families in need that work for WYDOT/WHP. As WyHy was founded in 1953 by seven WYDOT employees, the relationship between the two organizations continues to grow each year: "WyHy works to provide superior support, not just to our members, but to the organizations in our communities that serve us," says William N. Willingham III, President and CEO of WyHy. "Through the creation of our affinity credit card program weve further solidified the relationship weve enjoyed with WYDOT since our inception."
Additionally, WyHy collected donations at their annual Member Appreciation Day event in Cheyenne. WyHy matched the $110 donated by attendees, resulting in a $220 gift to WTDEA.
