HAEFCU Announces "Ca$h for the Classroom" Recipients

September 29, 2026
Huron Area Education FCU

The Huron Area Education Federal Credit Union was formed in 1952 by a group of educators looking to provide a better financial option for their co-workers. In doing so they created a financial institution that understands the needs of educators. That philosophy still holds true today. In fact, our Board of Directors and staff are all current or former school employees or have family members that are. We understand the needs of our members because we are just like you!

We are pleased to announce the winners of our Fall semester “Ca$h for the Classroom” drawing.

The two credit union members who each won $200 to purchase supplies for their classroom were Brittni Dupris, Special Education teacher at Washington 4-5 Center in Huron, and Madison Schmidt, a 7th Grade Math teacher at the Huron Middle School. As we celebrate 75 years of HAEFCU, we are proud to give back to our members and communities who have supported us along the way. We understand the needs our educators have when it comes to providing the necessary materials for their students, and we are honored to be able to assist in this way. Over the past 13 years, we have had the privilege of helping 52 educators purchase the “extras” for their classrooms.
This drawing is held twice a year, with the next one coming up this spring. Current educators in the counties of Beadle, Hand, Kingsbury, Sanborn, and Spink who are members of the credit union are eligible and encouraged to contact HAEFCU and fill out a short application for their chance to get extra “ca$h” for the classroom.
