Employees from the $3.2 billion Ascend Federal Credit Union wear red on Feb. 5, National Wear Red Day, in front of the Ascend corporate office in Tullahoma, Tenn. Ascend and its employees recently raised $1,150 to support the American Heart Association’s efforts to increase women’s heart health awareness. Ascend employees raised $575 by donating at least $5 to the Go Red For Women program to wear blue jeans and a red shirt on National Wear Red Day, and Ascend matched each employee contribution, dollar-for-dollar. Additionally, Ascend is bathing its corporate headquarters in red lights during February to show ongoing support for the fight against heart disease. Over the past five years, Ascend has contributed $18,460 to support heart health through donations to the AHA.
