RAPID CITY, S.D. To celebrate Arbor Day, Black Hills Federal Credit Union made a donation of $1,100 to the Jasper Fire Reforestation Project.
BHFCU teamed up with the Black Hills National Forest Service to enroll members in paperless statements; each member that switched to eStatements counted as a one dollar donation.
“Arbor Day is observed by planting trees, and this year BHFCU wanted to be a part of that in a local way,” said Leslie Millard, Marketing Communications Specialist. “With help from our members, we have funded the planting of 1,300 trees in the Black Hills. I would call that a success!”
