(Somerville, MA) For the tenth consecutive year, Naveo Credit Union participated in the Miracle Jeans Day initiative to raise funds for Boston Children’s Hospital, its local Miracle Network hospital. During the month of September, Naveo joined hundreds of organizations and raised funds from employees and members. Naveo then matched the employee donations for a total donation of $1,200.

To raise additional funds, Naveo extended employee jeans day to all Fridays throughout the month of September. Due to the pandemic, Naveo established an online portal where members and neighbors could donate to the cause without having the leave the safety of their home. Donations were also accepted at the branches.
