Alton, IL - GCS Credit Union employees joined together to raise $876.00 in the month of June to benefit The Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation.

In an ongoing effort to support the local community, GCS employees participate in Jeans Days each month. In exchange for a donation of $15 or more, employees are allowed to wear jeans on Fridays and Saturdays during the month of June.

The Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation (501c3) was founded in memory of Jonny Wade, shortly after brain cancer took his life at the age of 8. Despite the circumstances, Jonny believed he could and should make a difference for other children affected by cancer.

The Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation is Jonny's foundation to honor his wish that no other kid should have cancer. To learn more about this wonderful foundation visit KidsShouldntHaveCancer.org. To find out more about GCS Credit Union, visit myGCScu.com.
