November 25, 2009 — Meridian Credit Union Raises $180,000 for the United Way
Meridian Credit Union set a personal best this year, raising more than $180,000 for its United Way Campaign, Sean Jackson, President and CEO of Meridian Credit Union, announced today.
"This year's United Way campaign truly shows the tireless commitment of Meridian staff and Members to the communities where they live and work," said Jackson. "It is inspiring to see people donate what they could to help improve the lives of their fellow neighbours."
Employees across Meridian's operating regions worked together to create events and fundraising activities, including raffles, lunches and payroll donations, to help raise money for local United Way campaigns.
As a result of these events, Meridian's 84 United Way Champions were able to ensure that all United Way agencies across Ontario benefited from the campaign.
This year's donation also includes a $50,000 commitment made to the United Way through Meridian Credit Union's Good Neighbour Program.
Meridian Credit Union is Ontario’s largest credit union serving more than 219,000 personal and commercial Members across south-central Ontario.
