GLFFCU Dress-Down Friday's Raise Funds for Good Causes
 
Each year Great Lakes First Federal Credit Union’s employees from the Escanaba, Gladstone and Rapid River locations give money throughout the year to participate in "Dress Down Fridays", which is then donated to various charities.  This year they donated $1,290.00 and split it between three charities: Delta Cancer Alliance, Delta Animal Shelter and Delta County Suicide Prevention Task Force.  GLFFCU is the first business to donate to the Delta County’s Cancer Alliance Campaign’s main fundraiser and they hope other businesses will also donate to this great cause.
