July 9, 2014
Worcester, MA Webster First Federal Credit Union employees kicked off the summer by participating in the 11th annual Sharon Timlin Memorial 5K Race to Cure ALS, held on Saturday June 21st at Hopkinton High School. Employees participated in both the race itself and the accompanying Family Fun Day.
"Im honored to be able to take part in such a great event," stated Webster First Hopkinton Branch Manager, Kim Williamson. "The community involvement, whether from volunteers or runners of all ages, is inspiring and I hope this is the year they discover the cure for this fatal disease."
Webster First has participated in the Sharon Timlin Memorial 5K Race each of the last two years since opening its Hopkinton branch in November of 2012, with Williamson as manager since day one. This year, Webster First fundraised $1,150.00 for the Angel Fund to help fund research for a cure.
The credit union makes giving back a priority and has long been involved with charity work such as the Timlin Race.
This summer, Webster First is giving back in whole new way. Their Wicked Awesome Summer photo contest kicked off on June 21st, and invites the public to submit photo entries showing what they are doing to have a "wicked awesome summer" for a chance to win prizes throughout the summer. Contest details, official rules, and a gallery of current entries can be found on the credit unions Facebook page, located at facebook.com/websterfirst.
