SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY : As part of its ongoing commitment to the local community, on Monday, November 25th, Hudson River Community Credit Union (HRCCU) presented a check for $376.70 to the Shelters of Saratoga. 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.
