Connex Raises More Than $1,500 for Youth Football and Cheer

NORTH HAVEN, CT - Connex Credit Union recently donated more than $1,500 to North Haven Youth Football and Cheer to help the organization improve its programs and the safety of its young athletes.

These funds were raised through Coins-for-Change, Connex’s philanthropic program that donates 100 percent of the fees collected at its coin-cashing machines to charitable organizations.

“North Haven Youth Football and Cheer would like to thank our friends at Connex Credit Union for this very generous donation,” said North Haven Youth Football and Cheer President David Mikos. “Your support of our program allows us to keep our registration fees lower and provide the safest equipment and uniforms to our youth athletes.”

North Haven Youth Football is dedicated to offering a variety of flag and tackle football, and cheerleading programs for local children in the North Haven community. To learn more or register your child, please visit nhyfootball.com.
