TAMPA, FL, November 2022: As a not-for-profit credit union, GTE Financial prides itself on giving back to the Tampa Bay community and putting members first. For the ninth consecutive year, the credit union is accepting member submissions for its Make Hope Real initiative, an internal philanthropic effort meant to help families in need during the holiday season.
“We love having the opportunity to spread some cheer to our member families who could use a helping hand during this time of year,” says Mandy Zurbrick, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer at GTE Financial. “Make Hope Real is always extremely rewarding, and we are thrilled to continue the tradition and fulfill some deserving families’ wish lists.”
Make Hope Real fulfills holiday wish lists for chosen recipients and goes above and beyond to ensure each family has an incredible holiday. Once families are selected, employees at GTE gather to wrap and package their presents to be delivered in time for the holidays.
The credit union will accept member submissions until November 18, 2022. Selections will be made on November 25, 2022.
