Goshen-based Interra Credit Union recently hosted a celebration of business relationships and a fundraising effort for Junior Achievement.
The credit union’s 2nd Annual Back Forty Shooting Clay event helped raise funds for Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement focuses on empowering youth through financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship programs.
“Not only did we have the opportunity to strengthen our business connections, but we also came together to support Junior Achievement’s important work,” said Randy Lehman, vice president commercial lending manager, in a press release. “It’s gratifying to see our community unite for such a meaningful cause, and we’re proud to contribute to JA’s mission of preparing young people for a successful future.”
Through a raffle and donations, Interra raised over $10,000 for Junior Achievement.
“We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity and support we’ve received,” Jessica Hilary, Junior Achievement regional development director, said. “Not only does this incredible amount help us advance our mission, but it also strengthens our volunteer network.”
Mike Blosser, Interra senior vice president, head of commercial, praised attendees.
“Thanks to the collective effort and generosity of everyone involved, it will make a significant difference in our community and leave a lasting impact on our local youth,” Blosser said.
Interra Credit Union currently operates 16 offices in Elkhart, LaGrange, Kosciusko, Marshall and Noble counties. The credit union serves nearly 90,000 members. Interra Credit Union was chartered in 1932.
Junior Achievement serving Elkhart County is part of Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana. The Elkhart organization provided programming to over 12,000 students during the 2023-2024 school year. Junior Achievement has over 100 local areas across the nation.
