LOWELL, MA – On Tuesday, January 23rd, Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union kicked off its first “Casual for a Cause” day to support Humane Society for Greater Nashua, raising $650 to assist in the organization’s mission.

In exchange for a minimum donation, all employees were invited to wear jeans, sneakers and their brand new Casual for a Cause shirts. The Credit Union plans to hold this event one Tuesday each month to support 12 pre-selected local non-profit organizations throughout the year.

“Our new monthly Casual for a Cause initiative is a fun way for our employees to join together in unity to support a dozen worthy non-profits in our community,” said Mark S. Cochran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “We are looking forward to making this a great year of giving back,” he added.
