We are beyond grateful to our friends at Ascentra Credit Union for their donation of $250 in memory of Dale Owen. Dale was such a wonderful, kind person--and we could not be more honored to receive funds in his memory 🧡
No matter what charity or organization our staff's Steppin' Up funds go to, it's always special. However, this one was EXTRA special because of who it was given in memory of. 🧡
Kally, Ted, Vanessa, Mark, and Brooke, pooled their Steppin' Up funds this year to make a donation to Gilda's Club Quad Cities in honor of Dale.
"This year in memory of Dale’s courageous fight with cancer, we donated our funds to help Gilda’s Club Quad Cities fund programs that help families effected by cancer. These programs are for those that are diagnosed, their families with continuing support groups, and programs for coping with loss. These funds will go directly to help with our community."
Great job, team! There's no better way to honor Dale, than by giving and being a light for others. 🧡
💰 Steppin' Up is a program where Ascentra staff are provided with $50 to go out and pay it forward in our communities.💰
