MARGATE, FL, UNITED STATES, December 28, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — We Florida Financial, a cooperatively owned, not-for-profit credit union, celebrates the holiday season with a final charitable donation presenting a $1,000 check to three South Florida charities including Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County, SOS Children’s Villages and Arc Broward.
The presentation to these organizations occurred during the company’s annual Party with a Purpose, where its associates join to celebrate the holiday season and look back on charitable contributions and community impact that We Florida Financial and We Give Back Foundation have accomplished.
“It’s an honor to be afforded the opportunity and fundraising means to support so many causes and charitable organizations, all of which would not be possible without the support and dedication from our team” Robert D. Ramirez, President & CEO of We Florida Financial. “At We Florida Financial our commitment to our people, our customers and community are a priority in our day-to-day business model. You’re only as strong as the people around you and we plan to continue to empower every one of them to continue building success, awareness and support for all. I’m so proud of our team and look forward to what 2024 has in store.”
