As a part of its community support program, Connex Credit Union recently donated $846.87 to the Cheshire Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Walk. The money for this donation was raised from the fees collected by Connex’s coin-cashing machine in its North Haven Branch. Connex charges a five percent fee to members and a seven percent fee to non-members and donates the money collected to caring organizations in the community. The Cheshire MS Walk was held in late April at the Cheshire High School. There were over 1,800 people in attendance at the walk. Kathleen O’Connor and Tamera Martin, both Connex Credit Union employees, participated in the walk. “Tamera and I would like to thank Connex and all those in the community that came out to support the MS Walk,” said Kathleen O’Connor, Director of Consumer Lending at Connex Credit Union. “With the help of Connex we were able to raise over $2,000 contributing to the over $200,000 raised by the walk this year,” added O’Connor. If you are a local non-profit or charitable organization interested in participating in the “Coins for Change” program, please contact Chris Whalen at Connex Credit Union, at 203-603-5787 or cwhalen@connexcu.org.
