Fundraiser to benefit The Arthur C. Luf Children’s Burn Camp sponsored
Enfield, CT –May 19– The Enfield Community Federal Credit Union (ECFCU) is proud to be sponsoring its third annual fundraiser to benefit the Arthur C. Luf Children’s Burn Camp, which is located in Union, CT. This camp began in 1991 with the purpose of providing a safe and natural outdoor environment for children who have suffered physically and emotionally from burn injuries. The children are encouraged through social and physical activities to develop their self worth. It is the only one of its kind in the Northeast. An ECFCU member Mark Jordan who himself is a burn survivor and former firefighter is a dedicated volunteer. This year the credit union is hosting an Arts & Crafts Showcase! Many local talented artisans generously made a donation to the children’s burn camp for the privilege of displaying and selling their arts & crafts in the credit union lobby. Monetary donations are also being accepted from the community. The public may also purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a handmade doll bed or custom sports stool donated by woodworker, Craig Cairo. All proceeds will benefit the children’s burn camp. “We are please to continue our support of the children’s burn camp. This is our third year hosting a fundraiser and the support we get from our members and those in the community is wonderful.” said Kathleen Gleason, President and CEO, of the Enfield Community Federal Credit Union.
For more information about the Arts & Crafts Showcase at ECFCU call them at 860-253-5100 or visit online at www.enfieldcommunityfcu.org or www.facebook.com
To make a donation please come in to the Enfield Community Federal Credit Union located at 11 Cranbrook Boulevard in Enfield.
