Freedom Credit Union Collecting Donations for Alzheimer’s Assoc.

SPRINGFIELD — Each month, Freedom Credit Union (FCU) provides its members, staff, and community with an opportunity to support a local nonprofit organization making a difference in the lives of local residents. For September, Freedom is partnering with the Alzheimer’s Assoc. to raise awareness and funds through its participation in the local Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sunday, Oct. 26 at Holyoke Community College.

Through Sept. 30, community members are encouraged to visit any Freedom Credit Union branch to make a donation to benefit the Alzheimer’s Assoc., the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.

“Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia touch so many families, including our own staff and members,” Freedom Credit Union President Glenn Welch said. “We are proud to support the Alzheimer’s Association and participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, helping fund their critical work while honoring those we love who are affected by this devastating disease.”

In addition to collecting donations throughout the month, Freedom Credit Union will also field a team in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Oct. 26, joining thousands of participants across the region in the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

The Alzheimer’s Assoc. is a national nonprofit with a mission to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research, provide and enhance care and support for all affected, and reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
