Walking for Babies at the March of Dimes






What do employees of Horizon Community Credit Union do when they're not at work?  Many of us are active in community and charity events!  This past Saturday, a team of employees and family members from HCCU took a chilly stroll through Ashwaubenon to support the March of Dimes.  We believe in this great organization and the work that it does for babies and mothers.  

The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.  From the March for Babies website (www.marchforbabies.org):  “When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to nearly half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $2.3 billion to benefit all babies.”

The Horizon Community team would like to give a big thanks to all who sponsored us with donations!   Thanks to you we surpassed our fundraising goal of $500, raising $665 to help fund this important work!
