Donating Is Contagious
Hawaii Central Federal Credit Union (HCFCU) held its annual membership meeting with a game of “Guess the Money in the Jar.” The winner could keep all the money from the jar with the right answer. To everyone’s surprise, the winner decided to donate the winnings to the Japan Relief Fund of the American Red Cross. This generosity touched everyone at HCFCU, and all 32 employees opened their hearts and wallets and turned the original $36.82 donation into $554.08 in just one day! Pictured above are HCFCU staff members presenting a check to American Red Cross CEO, Hawaii State Chapter, Coralie Chun Matayoshi (center in red jacket).
