One Credit Union raises, donates $16,000 to Make-A-Wish Vermont 

One Credit Union, headquartered in Springfield, presented Jamie Hathaway, CEO of Make-A-Wish Vermont with a check for $18,000 at the One CU annual team meeting on Jan. 25.

This money was raised as part of a yearlong effort in 2019 with the help of One Credit Union members and staff in our local communities.  “Thank you all so much for this incredible donation – this amount of money goes a long way in bringing hope and joy to the kids with critical illness in our communities,” Hathaway said.

Throughout the year, One Credit Union worked to raise money at community events through bake sales and giveaways, and many One CU employees contributed by way of payroll deduction. During the holiday season, the One CU team designed and created Make-A-Wish snowflakes to sell to members in local branches. To top it all off, One Credit Union matched every donation given, dollar for dollar, bringing the total to $18,000. The Vermont chapter will receive $16,000 and the New Hampshire chapter will receive $2,000.
