Coins for Change
Special Olympics Connecticut received a donation of over $700 from the Coins-for-Change program, in which townspeople convert their spare change to cash at Connex Credit Union’s coin-cashing machines and the credit union donates 100 percent of its fees to charitable organizations across the state.
Brian Tomlinson, branch manager of Connex Credit Union’s location at 155 Main St. in Monroe, presented a check to Special Olympics Connecticut Director of Partnerships and Corporate Relations Ellyn Gerrmann and its Athletic and Global Messenger Heather Campbell.
“We extend our most sincere thanks to the team at Connex Credit Union and all who donated to support our athletes,” Gerrmann said. “Because of caring and generous friends like you, we are able to provide year-round life changing sports, health and fitness programs designed to inspire acceptance and inclusion for all in our schools and communities.”
