LOWELL, Mass.–Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union will host its eighth annual We Share A Common Thread Foundation Fundraiser.
Jeanne D’Arc’s We Share a Common Thread Foundation was established in 2011 to help the credit union provide monetary support to numerous charities and organizations throughout the community.
Each year, Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union employees, business partners, members and supporters gather together for a night filled with dancing, games, basket raffles, a silent auction, door prizes and much more. Funds raised during this fun-filled event are distributed to dozens of worthy non-profit organizations within the Merrimack Valley and surrounding communities.
Last year’s Fundraiser raised over $50,000, and the Credit Union disbursed those funds to 79 local organizations. This year, the Credit Union has set the goal to raise $60,000 to help them extend their support even further.
