Charitable Activities

The credit union philosophy is "people helping people." Connexus believes that this not only defines our relationship with our members but also extends into how we contribute to our community, country and world.

We are proud to be involved in numerous charitable activities through employee volunteerism or charitable donations. For the past 15 years, the focus of much of our charitable activities has been our support of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Our participation has grown from the community Relay committee, to joint sponsorship of the event with other area credit unions, to support as the Presenting Sponsor of the Wausau event.

In 2011, in addition to our corporate sponsor dollars, our employees raised an amazing $16,000 for the fight against cancer. We thank you for your support of our activities through your participation and generous donations.
