NLCU Charitable Foundation to hold 21st Annual Walk-A-Thon®

NLCU invites credit union members, family, friends, and businesses in our communities to join us in supporting the 21st Annual Walk-A-Thon of the NLCU Charitable Foundation (NLCU CFC). The Annual Walk-A-Thon will be held between June 23 and 30, 2024.

The charity of choice this year is End Sexual Violence NL. We are asking for your kind support. All donations are tax deductible. Click here to make a donation online, or donate at any one of our 12 NLCU locations province-wide.

A non-profit, community-based, charitable organization, End Sexual Violence NL exists to support individuals of all genders across the province who have been impacted by sexual violence. The charity operates from a feminist, pro-choice, trauma-informed, person-centered perspective where individuals with lived experience are honoured for their unique strengths, needs, skills, and abilities. Support is available 24 hours a day through their Crisis, Support, and Information Line at 1-800-726-2743.

As the charity of choice, End Sexual Violence NL will receive 50% of the funds raised, up to a maximum of $10,000. Remaining proceeds go to the NLCU CFC for distribution to other local charities in Newfoundland and Labrador.

NLCU established the NLCU Charitable Foundation in 2002. NLCU’s Board of Directors and employees are dedicated NLCU CFC volunteers and will be hosting their own walks across the province in support of this year’s Walk-A-Thon.
