Columbia, SC, November 12, 2016 --(PR.com)-- SAFE Federal Credit Union and its employees generated more than $10,500 in donations to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through the society’s October 27 Light the Night Walk here.
A dozen SAFE employees, representing the West Columbia, Garners Ferry, and Bishopville branches, along with SAFE headquarters in Sumter, took part in the fund-raising event. SAFE offered a corporate donation in addition to the money the walkers raised through sponsorships.
