Endwell, NY – Visions Federal Credit Union recently teamed up with Willow Fedoris to support Every Dog's Dream Rescue.
Cada mes, Visions reconoce a un pequeño héroe, un niño de 12 años o menos que tiene un impacto positivo en su comunidad. Willow was selected as the winner in August, during Visions' annual Youth Month.
"We wanted to do something special for our Youth Month winner," said Lindsay Knaul, Visions' Marketing Program Administrator, "and we could tell that Willow had an ambitious attitude to go above and beyond."
Durante todo el año, Willow se presenta en todo el condado de Broome con su propia iniciativa benéfica llamada Wildlife with Willow. Promueve la concientización y la educación sobre las especies en peligro de extinción y ofrece apoyo a refugios de animales locales.
Partnering with Willow's cause, Visions donated cat food and litter to Every Dog's Dream Rescue and held an internal fundraising campaign for staff to donate, too. "When employees donate to nonprofits like Every Dog's Dream Rescue, we're able to double-down on the contribution through our Gift Match Program," explained Knaul, "which helped our team to donate over $600 in addition to the in-kind donations and supplies for the shelter."
Not only did Visions support Every Dog's Dream Rescue, but the credit union also gifted Willow $100 to support her own efforts. Willow espera inscribir a su propia organización, Wildlife with Willow, como una organización sin fines de lucro para fin de año.
