American 1 CU Raises Funds for Alzheimers Research
American 1 Credit Union of Jackson, MI is dedicated to the communities they serve and feel strongly about giving back.� American 1 Credit Unions monthly charity for the month of December was the
Alzheimers Association: The Great Lakes Chapter in Chelsea, MI.
The money was collected through a variety of activities.� The American 1 Marketing Department put together "abay", which is "ebay" for American 1 Staff.� Items were collected or donated and then bid on by staff members.� There was a dress down day for Christmas, where staff members could pay $5 to wear jeans and a Christmas sweater, the Friday before Christmas.� The Home Office and North Street branch locations also have fresh popped popcorn and bottled water available for a donation, every Friday.
Altogether $890 was raised through these fundraisers, for the Alzheimers Association.
"Were so happy to be able to raise money for great charities each month.� The staff really enjoys being able to give back," said Jayme Bicknell, Event Coordinator at American 1 Credit Union.
