Naveo Credit Union employees dressed up in costumes on Wednesday, October 31 and raised $300 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society during their Costumed for a Cure event. Naveo raised funds at their branches in less than a week and then matched those funds.
The Costumed for a Cure event has become an annual participation at Naveo, one that members and employees have come to look forward to. In more recent years, the event has led to a competition between branches for collections on costume originality. This year, Naveo’s retail staff donned homemade superhero-themed costumes.
To boost collections, employees were given the opportunity to trade in their business clothes for jeans the Friday before Halloween with a donation to the cause.
“Costumed for a Cure is a great way to create awareness and raise much-needed funds for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Our members and employees are proud to do their part in raising money for a great cause, all the while having fun,” commented Rui F. Domingos, Chief Executive Officer at Naveo Credit Union.
