LAKE LUZERNE, NY (December 4, 2013): On Wednesday, December 4th, Hudson River Community Credit Union (HRCCU) presented a check in the amount of $1,000 to the Double H Ranch in Lake Luzerne, NY. The money will be used to support Pauls Body Shop, the ranchs on-site medical facility.
HRCCU raised the money through a number of fundraising efforts over the course of 2013, including: the sale of chocolate bunnies and stuffed animals, partial proceeds of tickets sold for its 2nd annual Fun Day and tickets to the Great Escape and from the sale of tickets to Enchanted Forest/Water Safari water park.
"HRCCU and The Double H share a strong commitment to the needs of children," says Sue Commanda, HRCCU CEO. "We are pleased to be able to provide support to help them carry out their important mission," she added.
