Connex Donates More Than $1,000 To North Haven Historical Society

NORTH HAVEN, CT - From Connex Credit Union: Connex Credit Union recently donated more than $1000 to North Haven Historical Society in support of the organization’s mission. These funds were raised through Coins-for-Change, Connex’s philanthropic program that contributes more than $13,000 annually to local charitable organizations as part of the ConnexCares initiative.

The overall vision of North Haven Historical Society is to preserve the history of the town of North Haven and educate students and adults about that history. All fundraising efforts went towards sponsoring free programs and maintaining research archives.

“Connex is proud to be able to support North Haven Historical Society through the Coins-for-Change program to further its mission of preserving the history of the town of North Haven,” said Louise Nestor, director of marketing, Connex Credit Union. “Causes such as the North Haven Historical Society have a positive impact within the town where we live and work.”
