TUCSON, Ariz.–Hughes Federal Credit Union has made a $12,000 donation to the Tucson Wildlife Center as part of its ongoing commitment to wildlife preservation and support for the local community.
The contribution was made possible through Hughes' affinity debit card program, specifically the Hughes “Little Prowler” debit card design, developed in partnership with award-winning local artist Diana Madaras.
The Hughes “Little Prowler” debit card showcases the artwork of Diana Madaras, capturing the essence of Southern Arizona's beloved wildlife. For each debit card issued, Hughes donates $5 to the Tucson Wildlife Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, providing emergency medical care, and rehabilitating sick, injured and orphaned wildlife in the region.
“Caring for our local wildlife is a cause that is near and dear to our hearts at Hughes Federal Credit Union,” said Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Service Elisa Ross. “With every ‘Little Prowler’ debit card issued, we're not only helping to preserve Southern Arizona's wildlife but also giving our cardholders a unique way to show their love for the local arts and wildlife. It's a win-win for our community."
Alongside the opportunity to support the Tucson Wildlife Center, cardholders receive a 10% discount on select merchandise at Madaras Gallery, showcasing the diverse and colorful artworks of Diana Madaras.
Since its introduction in 2019, a total of 1,057 (year to date) “Little Prowler” debit cards have been issued, resulting in over $27,000 in donations to the Tucson Wildlife Center.
