Tremont CU Donates Toys and $5,300 to Local Children's Hospital
January 19, 2018
Tremont Credit Union (TCU) was proud to support Boston Children's Hospital this past holiday season by participating in the Credit Unions Kids at Heart® Program, one of the largest credit union collaborative fundraising efforts in the country. During November and December 2017, TCU held a toy drive collection at all four of its branches in Boston, Braintree, Roslindale and Dorchester. In addition, TCU front-line staff sold Credit Union Kids at Heart Teddy Bears® and collected monetary donations from members, including $10 for every opened personal loan.
The credit union community also participated in a Holiday Card Program, and TCU staff donated $5.00 to wear jeans on TCU Dress Down Fridays. All fundraising efforts resulted in a donation of over $5,300 to Boston Children's Hospital.
Founded in 1996 by Eastern Corporate Federal Credit Union in Burlington, Mass., Credit Unions Kids at Heart® and its team of supporters leverage fundraising activities, including the Boston Marathon, to fund various pediatric research projects. Together, the credit union community has raised more than $3.5 million for Boston Children's Hospital through Credit Unions Kids at Heart® since the program's inception.
