Align Credit Union Supports Local Boys & Girls Clubs

Lowell, MA, December 20, 2017 – Align Credit Union is proud to have supported the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Haverhill and Greater Lowell during this year’s #GivingTuesday. #GivingTuesday is an annual event where businesses, organizations, charities, families and students around the world come together to give thanks by giving back. Align pledged to match $1,000 in total donations made to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Haverhill and Lowell through each Club’s website on November 28th. Donations to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Haverhill will support after-school programs. Donations made to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell will be used to support their Career & College Readiness Center.

“Sincere thanks and gratitude from all at Boys & Girls Club of Greater Haverhill for Align Credit Union’s ongoing support of our members, our mission and youth development throughout Greater Haverhill. Thanks to their Giving Tuesday match, donors of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Haverhill are able to maximize their support at one of the most critical times for programming in the lives of our members.  As days grow colder and darker, more and more youth are seeking after-school programming,” said Boys & Girls Club of Greater Haverhill Executive Director, Brian Theirrien. “Align’s match funds allow members to experience and engage daily in healthy lifestyle choices through participation in quality activities including academics, athletics and leadership programs offered at the Club.”

“Align Credit Union's matching gift really helped us launch our Giving Tuesday campaign, and inspired others to join in,” said Joe Hungler, Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell Executive Director. “With their support, we surpassed our goal, and saw our largest Giving Tuesday campaign yet - raising over $14,000 to support the launch of our new Career & College Readiness Center. This Center will provide our teens with the space, staff and support they need to create a brighter future for themselves. We are very thankful to Align for their dedication to our kids and teens.”

 “Align is proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs during the holidays and throughout the year,” said Align President Ken Del Rossi. “Their efforts not only change lives, they change the community.”
