Kids in Disability (1)LOWELL, MA Jeanne DArc Credit Union is pleased to announce that the winner of the latest "Give a Click" campaign located on our website WeShareACommonThread.org is Kids In Disability Sports. This nonprofit believes that individuals with special needs deserve the same opportunities for recreation, sports, and skill-building as everyone else. The KIDS-sponsored sports programs build self-confidence and show the importance of teamwork. Jeanne DArc Credit Union understands the value of community and working together.� On the WeShareACommonThread.org website, community members can read about three worthy nonprofit organizations and then vote for the one they would most like to see us support.� The charity with the most votes then receives a $1,500 donation from the Credit Union.� Different charities are posted every quarter, so we encourage people to keep returning to WeShareACommonThread.org to help their favorites gain a much-needed donation. "We consider social responsibility to be an integral part of our overall mission," said Mark S. Cochran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jeanne DArc Credit Union. "The Give a Click campaign allows us to help people in our region become more involved with their communities and with each other. We are pleased to help Kids In Disability Sports continue its important work." In this campaign, the organizations received strong support from website visitors. When the campaign ended, Kids In Disability Sports received the most votes, while Its All About the Kids Foundation came in a close second, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Lowell came in third. Individuals are permitted to vote only once. The current "Give a Click" campaign is focused on another trio of nonprofit organizations in the region. The organizations vying for the next donation are: The Food Pantry of Pelham at St. Patricks Parish, the Westford Community Food Pantry, and the Dracut Food Pantry.
