As a community-focused institution, WyHy’s staff sees its fundraising efforts as an opportunity to make a big impact across a wide spectrum of causes.
Instead of merely donating sums of cash, the credit union’s leadership created a network of different fundraising resources to offer year-round relief. in 2022, more than $9,900 in fees accrued as part of the Skip-A-Pay program were given to the Red Cross of Wyoming. Quarterly donations were made through Clothing For A Cause, which allows team members to dress casually two Wednesdays each month in exchange for a $5 donation—and at the end of each quarter, one team member selects an organization to receive these funds. Overall, this small but mighty initiative generated nearly $4,000 in donations in 2022 alone. WyHy also partnered with the Food Bank of Wyoming during our second Shred Day of the year and raised enough to provide 5742 meals in Wyoming.
“Every year I am blown away by the generous spirit of our team,” said Bill Willingham, President/CEO of WyHy. “It’s truly inspiring to work alongside staff whose community-focused mindset extends beyond their time in the office. A brighter future for Wyoming is always top of mind around here. We always look toward making the biggest impact and providing help where it’s needed.”
Recently, WyHy wrapped up its final charitable effort of 2022: the Adopt-A-Family program, which offers extra support during the holidays for families in need of help in Casper, Cheyenne, Rock Springs, Green River, and Lyman. This year, WyHy staff members raised $3,700 to buy Christmas gifts for families and groups in each location.
