It’s a year of anniversaries for TruChoice FCU. Not only is it their 70th anniversary of serving members, but on Saturday, September 13, they celebrated their 25th year of sponsoring the Maine Children’s Cancer Program (MCCP) Walk.
The sponsorship has been near and dear to the credit union for many years, beginning when they were still Medical Services FCU. Not only does TruChoice FCU sponsor the annual walk, but employees raise funds as part of their ‘TruTrekkers’ group.
In addition to increasing their sponsorship support this year in honor of their anniversary, the TruTrekkers set a fundraising goal of $10,700. They were thrilled to surpass that amount, raising $12,839 to help support local kids and families facing childhood cancer and blood disorders. In the last 16 years, the TruTrekkers have raised over $120,000 for the MCCP.
The walk theme for the last several years has been Super Heroes, and TruChoice FCU was on-site to hand out capes and smiles to help everyone ‘fly’ around Back Cove.
Lisa Rowley, VP of Planning and Project Management and a committee member for the MCCP Walk for 25 years, shared, “This event is embedded in our culture and has become a cherished tradition for our entire staff. From our participation in the walk itself to our TruHero credit card, which allows TruChoice to donate to the MaineHealth Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital on our members’ behalf, we are passionate about helping these brave kids and their families be the superheroes they truly are. We look forward to many more years of sponsorship!”
Congratulations to all who participated in this worthy cause!
