Atlantic Federal Credit Union

During the WCYY Fan Page’s #Markathon event, Atlantic FCU had their branch manager present a $1,000 check to help raise funds for The Center for Grieving Children, Maine. The grand total of money raised at the event was an astounding $80,000!!

“Expressing feelings in a safe place is part of the healing process after a death. At the Center, children, teens, young adults, and adults benefit from a supportive environment where they can be with others who have experienced similar losses. We provide peer support groups for children ages 3-18 and their parents and caregivers; young adults ages 19-30; and bereaved parents and young widowers/partners.” The Center for Grieving Children
