Credit Union Pledges to Donate $10,000 Title 1 Schools
Sharing the season’s joy with the community, Westerra Credit Union (Westerra) will relaunch its second annual “Deck the Hallways” initiative – a program that provides scholastic support to Colorado school districts. From December 1 to 19, the credit union will donate $100 to Title 1 schools in the Denver Metro Area* each time a Smart Money Checking or Money Market Select account is opened by new members. The credit union will also gift each new member with a $100 deposit** as a thank you for helping local schools.
After last year’s success, Westerra intends to once again distribute $10,000 to Title 1 schools. The effort continues the credit union’s legacy – that dates back to Westerra’s founding by schoolteachers in 1934 – by keeping support for teachers and local schools at the heart of its mission.
“Deck the Hallways embodies the magic of the holiday season,” said Annelise Elrod, chief operations officer at Westerra Credit Union. “At Westerra, our goal is to give back to the community, especially our educators and members, in any way we can. Deck the Hallways reminds us that even the smallest acts of giving can make a big difference, and we look forward to the success of this year’s program.”
