A Kiss Worth $638.43
Vice President of Operations Kim Babington kisses a pig for Relay for Life.
Today our Relay for Life team raised $638.43 with our kiss the pig fundraiser. Whichever senior manager had the most money in their jar had to kiss a pig. Our Vice President of Operation, Kim Babington won with $374.63.
While the event was fun and the weather was great to grill hot dogs for our members, we’re reminded of the ongoing fight to cure cancer. We’re honored to play a part in that goal and will continue to raise funds at the local level for the American Cancer Society. Afterall, credit unions are all about people helping people.
On Wednesday, April 21 at 5:45 p.m., we’ll open our doors to Relay for Life teams participating in the Jackson County event to turn in their money they have collected so far. And on Saturday, April 24, our Relay team will be walking the track of Carbondale 
Community High School with other members participating in Relay for Life. We hope to see you there.

Hot dogs, chips, baked beans and a drink will be available for a small donation on Friday from 11 to 1 at the credit union’s Giant City Road location.
