Meet Tawny:
Tawny is the head teller at our Redmond Road branch, and she is hardcore about the fight against breast cancer. So much so, that she has committed to raising $2,300 to walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day with Team Tutus for Tatas in October. Tawny represents all of us who love someone who has battled this form of cancer–Tawny’s mom is a survivor, and Tawny is walking in honor of several others.
Thankfully, Tawny works at a credit union that is also committed to women’s health issues. In fact, it’s a cause we have specifically purposed to support. (You can read more about that in our PEOPLEMatter Community Relations Guide.) We’re doing things all summer to help Tawny reach her lofty goal, and we need our members to get involved!
Our first fundraiser was a Pink Pancake Breakfast for the staff. Tawny, with the help of Dana Gallagher, served pink pancakes (while wearing a pink tutu) for a minimum $2 donation. The credit union bought the food, and our staff gave generously in return.
Next up is Donation Jar Day. On Friday, July 30 and again on Friday, October 15 we’ll be decking out in pink and collecting cash or check donations from members and employees. You’ll even be able to donate through the drive-thru!
On Friday, August 20, we will be hosting a bake sale for members, full of homemade-only treats baked by your credit union’s staff.
And if you just can’t wait to give (and you want a tax write-off), you can give online at Tawny’s fundraising page.
We hope you’ll help us support Team Tawny! We’ll remind you about the festivities throughout the summer.
