Connex Credit Union Donates to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA)

NORTH HAVEN, Conn. (April 16, 2014) – As a part of its community-giving program, ConnexCares, Connex Credit Union recently donated $880.79 to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The donated funds were raised from the fees collected by Connex’s coin-cashing machine in North Haven. Connex charges a five percent fee to members and a seven percent fee to non-members and donates the fees collected to caring organizations in the community.

“Our coin-cashing machines help raise funds for non-profit organizations throughout our local communities,” said Carl J. Casper, Connex Credit Union’s Vice President of Customer Advocacy. “We encourage everyone from the community to visit and cash in your loose change to help support a worthy cause, such as the MDA.”

The Muscular Dystrophy Association is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The association also provides comprehensive healthcare, support services, advocacy and education. In addition to funding some 300 research teams worldwide, MDA maintains a national network of 200 medical clinics and facilitates hundreds of support groups for families affected by neuromuscular diseases.
