COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.–Ent Credit Union employees raised a record-breaking $264,515 for United Way during their annual fall fundraising campaign. Employee donations were generated via voluntary employee payroll deductions, internal fundraising activities and employee-led fundraising partnerships with area businesses.
Ent reported it has held an annual employee United Way fundraising campaign for more than 20 years and 2018 marks the twelfth consecutive year its employees have raised more than $100,000.
“While our employees’ commitment to giving back to the community doesn’t surprise me, it does impress me,” said CEO Chad Graves. “Every year, through their dedication and efforts, they find a way to top the previous year’s donation. I’m honored to work with such a compassionate and generous team.”
