MILWAUKEE, Wis.— Corporate Central Credit Union was the main sponsor of a recent Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk event, which it said demonstrates commitment to supporting the heroes who have served our nation and our communities.
The event, which took place in Muskego, Wis. saw participants from all walks of life come together to “honor the sacrifices made by first responders and military personnel in the line of duty.”
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, inspired by the heroism of New York firefighter Stephen Siller who lost his life in the towers on Sept. 11, 2001, provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families, builds smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, and supports the families of these heroes with various forms of financial assistance.
By sponsoring this event, Corporate Central said it proud to contribute to these noble causes and reinforce its dedication to community support and social responsibility.
“At Corporate Central, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back to those who have given so much to us,” Chris Felton, president/CEO, said in a statement. “Sponsoring the Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk is our way of honoring the bravery and selflessness of our first responders and military heroes, while also engaging with our members and the community in a meaningful way.”
Corporate Central said the inaugural event was a resounding success, with over one-hundred participants, including Corporate Central employees, members, and local heroes and residents, joining together to run, walk, and raise funds for the foundation’s important work. The day was filled with camaraderie, remembrance, and a shared commitment to making a difference, Corporate Central said.
