EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Xceed Financial Credit Union is helping one 17-year-old environmentalist's dream come true.

The credit union has teamed up with the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, N.Y., to provide funding for Rachel Zoyhofski to spend a week in the remote area of Churchill, Canada to study polar bears as part of Polar Bear International's Leadership Camp.

Zoyhofski will experience the tundra firsthand, observe the bears in their natural habitat and report back to the world through blogs accessible on the zoo's Web site. Zoyhofski is one of only 32 high school students from around the world chosen to make the trip.
