The $38 billion State Employees' Credit Union in Raleigh, N.C., employees celebrate another successful year of fundraising for March of Dimes. Staff in the Triangle and surrounding areas raised nearly $50,000 through a variety of efforts, including organized fundraisers and individual donations. SECU employees also came out in full force for this year's March for Babies walk, setting a new record with 350 credit union employees and family members hiking three miles together in honor of those affected by premature birth. Participating in March for Babies walks in the Triangle and around the state has been an annual tradition of SECU staff for decades. Branch and operations employees donate their time and talent to raise funds year-round for the non-profit's programs and services dedicated to giving babies a strong, healthy future.
