Throughout the month of April, Community
Financial invited the community to vote online among five finalists to
determine the Thumbs Up For Charity! prizewinners.
After the votes were tallied, New Hope Center for
Grief Support in Northville, took the $10,000 grand prize.
New Hope Center for
Grief Support is dedicated to providing grief support services to adults and
children who are grieving after the death of a loved one.
“We are so appreciative to Community Financial for
their support,” said Cathy Clough, Executive Director of New Hope Center for
Grief Support. “We rely on donations in order to offer our services at no
charge to anyone who can benefit from them. Community Financial’s funds will
enable us to help more people in an even bigger and better way.”
Clough added that New
Hope Center will use the funds to be able to offer more services to those who
are grieving. “It’s all to help grieving people in bigger and better way,”
Clough said.
The other finalists who also received donations were: Plymouth-Canton
Community Schools’ WSDP Radio, The New 88.1 and the Friendship
Shelter from Gaylord, which took home $5,000 prizes. Old Village School of Northville and Montmorency County Council on Aging from Montmorency County each received
$2,500.
“This was an extremely close vote, which goes to show how valued each of
these organizations are by the community,” said Sarah Cousineau, Community
Financial Credit Union marketing manager. “At Community Financial, we are proud
to be able to bring these organizations to the forefront and highlight the
amazing work they do.”
