Chartway Credit Union and its charitable arm, the Chartway Promise Foundation, wrapped up a month of foundation-hosted fundraisers and credit union events for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with their 25th annual “Swings for Smiles” golf tournament and annual “Night for Hope” fundraiser.
Thanks to member and community support throughout September, the foundation superseded its $250,000 benchmark and raised $300,000, putting the foundation on the path to another year of exceeding $1M in funds raised. All the funds raised will be dispersed to more than twenty charity partners to grant memorable experiences to many more medically fragile children across the credit union’s Virginia, Texas, and Utah markets.
“Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a time for us to come together as a community to uplift these brave children,” said Christine Wilson, president of the Chartway Promise Foundation. “From fulfilling life-changing wishes to creating experiences that bring smiles, every act of kindness this month has fueled our mission to spread hope to our Promise Heroes.”
“At Chartway, we believe that every child deserves moments of joy, even in the midst of their toughest battles,” said Brian Schools, president and CEO of Chartway Credit Union. “Through the incredible work of the Chartway Promise Foundation and our generous partners, we’re able to make a real difference in the lives of children and families who need it most.”
In all, the foundation fulfilled the wishes and dreams of seven medically fragile children, they call Promise Heroes. Chartway Promise Foundation also took part in other activities and events throughout the month to help many more children, collaborating with partners including Hooked on Hope VB, Make-A-Wish, Roc Solid Foundation, and Toby’s Dream Foundation.
In Tooele County, Chartway held a Promise Hero celebration at the Tooele High School football game on Friday, Oct. 4 for Promise Hero Mason. See the related story on page 14.
Reflecting a bright way forward, Chartway’s charitable arm—the Chartway Promise Foundationhas granted nearly $15 million to provide medically fragile children and their families memorable experiences that bring joy, hope, and smiles.
