Ferndale, Michigan – For the seventh year, a team of approximately 55 Credit Union ONE staff and family members walked this year in the 24th Annual Walk for Warmth which was held on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at the Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills.
The Walk for Warmth is an annual event
that raises funds and promotes awareness of the emergency needs of low-income
people. All funds raised benefit those who face heat-related emergencies during
Michigan’s harsh winters.
“We are extremely pleased that our
team continues to grow each year,” said John Kozich, Vice President of Community Relations for Credit Union ONE.
Our staff is very enthusiastic about this very worthwhile cause and
looks forward to participating each year.
A Heart of Bronze sponsor, Credit
Union ONE contributed close to $1,000 to the Walk for Warmth, which included
walker pledges and a corporate donation made on behalf of everyone that walked.
The goal this year is $130,000 for the
walk, and by all indications this will be exceeded.
In 2013, over 350 families were
assisted by the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA) with funds from
Walk for Warmth, and the need is even greater this year. As always, 100 percent of all proceeds go
back into the community.
