HARRISBURG, Penn.–PSECU has launched its second annual PSECU Gives Back campaign through which individuals vote to determine which one of four nonprofit organizations will receive popular vote-based financial support from Pennsylvania’s largest credit union.
This year, the organization with the most votes will receive a $2,200 donation.
“At PSECU, we know that giving back to community organizations can truly bring positive changes to places where we live, work, and play. That commitment to community is a crucial part of who we are and also part of the overall credit union ‘people helping people’ philosophy,” said PSECU President Greg Smith. “PSECU believes that as a member-owned financial cooperative, it is our duty to support the causes most important to the people we serve. That’s why again this year, we’re reaching out to the public for their input on how - through this campaign - we can best support the communities we all share.”
PSECU’s members and non-members alike are being encouraged to visit the PSECU Facebook page to cast a vote for one of the outstanding community organizations.
The winning contribution presented by PSECU was increased to $2,200 for 2018 from $500 the year prior. The amount was selected to not only increase the funding provided to the top organization selected by popular vote, but also as a nod to the credit union’s 22 founders.
“More than 80 years ago, our 22 founders started the credit union with the objective of helping others through shared financial opportunity. Today, in all we do, we strive to follow that community betterment-based legacy,” explained Barb Bowker, Vice President of Marketing and Membership Development for PSECU. “We encourage people to share this contest with friends, family, and colleagues. PSECU is proud to continue supporting our communities – and now the choice is yours!”
