Credit union helps support the American Heart Association in a fitness challenge

Service Credit Union employees helped to support the American Heart Association and became physically fit by participating in a month-long Service Credit Union Fitness Challenge. The Fitness Challenge was a Service Credit Union effort to promote a heart healthy lifestyle amongst its employees as well as raise money for the New Hampshire American Heart Association. Service Credit Union donated $50 per employee who completes the Fitness Challenge during the month of February up to $3,000. To be eligible for the Service Credit Union Fitness Challenge, more than 250 employees signed up to perform at least 20 minutes of exercise three times a week for four weeks. Earlier this month, Service Credit Union donated more than $3,000 to the American Heart Association as part of National Wear Red Day. This is the fifth year the credit union contributed to the organization.� Karen Benedetti, Service Credit Union Vice President of Marketing, said, "The fitness challenge was an excellent way to commit to physical fitness. It personally inspired me to make full use of the employee gym and walking trails." Exercising more than five times a week as well as losing weight and inches, Benedetti represented the credit union for the check donation to the American Heart Association.
