Freedom Credit Union and its members raised more than $1,000 for Unify Against Bullying in October.
“Unify Against Bullying is an organization we are very proud to support,” says Debra Mainolfi, Freedom Credit Union West Springfield branch officer and member of the Unify Against Bullying executive board. “Every year in the U.S., over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying, and Western Massachusetts is no exception. Most children who experience bullying don’t report it. Unify Against Bullying makes a positive impact in our schools and communities to bring people together to speak out against bullying in a unified voice.”
Unify Against Bullying pledges to bring an end to bullying through the celebration of true diversity. Their motto is: “When we stand together, we stand as one.” The organization works hard to make sure that victims of bullying know that they are not alone—that they are, in fact, supported by a loving, caring community of fellow students, teachers, parents, siblings, business leaders and many others.
