SunCorp staff has decided to forego the annual company picnic and instead use those funds as a donation to CUAid to support the relief efforts for wildfire victims in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and other western states.
There are still wildfires burning in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana that are affecting credit union members and staff. Two of the most destructive fires in Colorado history, Waldo Canyon and High Park, have recently been contained but at the cost of over 600 homes lost.
“Our staff has been very concerned about the credit union members and staff who have been affected by all of the wildfires,” said Lynn Baalman, Vice President of Human Resources. “Giving up our annual picnic is just the beginning of what we can do to help the victims.”
