Home / News & Financial Education / News / Merrimack Valley Credit Union members and employees showed a lot of heart in February

Lawrence, Mass. (March 15, 2022) – In honor of American Heart Month, Merrimack Valley Credit Union (MVCU) held a fundraiser throughout February to raise money for the American Heart Association. The MVCU branch team sold hearts for a minimum donation of $2.00 with MVCU employees also contributing, raising a total of $3,608.99.

“The generosity of the Credit Union’s members and staff has been unbelievable,” said Wendy Guarino, Mortgage Underwriter Supervisor and coordinator for this fundraiser. “We set a modest goal of $500, and exceeded that amount within the first week. Our team really got behind this fundraiser because heart health impacts the lives of so many people we know, and it feels good to support the research that may help a friend, relative, or neighbor in the future.”

Members who visited any one of MVCU’s 10 branches were presented with the opportunity to fill out a heart when they made the minimum donation. Members could dedicate their heart to another person or simply sign their name. The hearts were then displayed throughout the branches for the entire month.

Employees were also encouraged to participate. Robert Cabral, VP of Consumer Lending, and Anthony Marino, SVP of Organizational Development & Learning, upped the ante with matching gifts when the Credit Union met fundraising targets.
