Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union (AACFCU) raised more than $13,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) during a recent company-wide fundraising campaign. Because of the generosity of AACFCU employees and members, $10,278 was raised in donations while the Credit Union donated an additional $3,000 to the foundation.
Lisa Hales, AACFCU Vice President of Marketing, presented a check to Emily Jenkins, CFF volunteer, at the Great Strides Walk on Saturday, April 30, 2011 where AACFCU was recognized as the top corporate fundraiser for the Wiregrass area and one of the top corporate fundraisers in the state of Alabama.
“We would like to thank our members and employees for supporting this organization,” said Hales. “Being involved in the community is very important to the Credit Union, and we’re grateful for the opportunity and support that allows us to be here.”

AACFCU members and staff brought in nonperishable food and other items such as cleaning supplies and paper goods to be sent to those in need. In addition to collecting the above items, AACFCU also raised just over $500 to be donated to the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts. AACFCU worked with several other local organizations to distribute donations to various locations in North Alabama.
