Stepping Up in Times of Need: Acting with Immediacy

This week, in the second of a two-part series, we examine how Blue Federal Credit Union in Cheyenne, Wyoming doubled their community impact in 2020… twice.

In October 2020, historic wildfires devastated communities across Colorado and Wyoming. The American Red Cross provided immediate aid to nearly 20,000 displaced residents in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Red Cross and Blue join us to talk about how their partnership brought critical relief in a rapidly developing emergency and how the credit union launched their second major matching campaign of 2020 in only five days.
