Beating their goal of raising $25,000,
MSU Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU) and its
employees raised $26,083 for the
Boys & Girls Club of Lansing between January and June of this year.
Employees were excited to surpass the goal through employee donations and fundraisers including raffles, dress down days, a managers’ car wash, bake sales, and a golf putting outing.
“Giving back to the community in which we live, work and play, not only
enriches our lives, it helps bring people together and makes our cities
stronger," says April Clobes, vice president of marketing and e-commerce for
MSUFCU. Our employees go above and beyond every day, and receive great
joy out of giving back.
"Each year they decide as a group to support a
local organization in need," she adds, "and each year they exceed their contribution
goals. It’s amazing to see what can be accomplished with a little
effort and determination.”
The Boys & Girls Club of Lansing provides local youth, ages 7–17, with physical fitness, recreation and educational activities, and has been in the area since 1964.
