Giving back has always been at the heart of Chartway Federal Credit Union and its divisions of HeritageWest and SouthWest Community and 2015 was no exception.

The success of the credit union's We Promise Foundation's 2015 fundraisers have helped make a difference in children's lives. From its 10th Annual Diamonds in the Sky Gala to its 17th Annual Charity Golf Classic attended by various public figures including LPGA player Jill McGill, the Foundation successfully raised a total of $945,000 in 2015. Since 1999, the Chartway Family of Credit Unions and its We Promise Foundation have raised more than $8 million while delivering smiles to the faces of thousands of children.

Striving to make each fundraising event an experience the kids won't forget, We Promise volunteers welcomed children like Haniah to the Gala by giving them high-fives as they stepped out of a limousine and traveled across a red carpet rolled out just for them.
