Big Givers
A $10,000 donation will be made in Terry Fernsler’s name to Kesem at JMU to help them continue the great work they do for children whose parents or guardians have been affected by cancer.
And while Terry was the grand prize winner in our Big Giver Contest, the great news is that $1,000 donations will be made on behalf of the other finalists to their nominated charities, too! Learn more about the finalists' favorite charities.
- Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, nominated by Daniel Beason
- Big Brothers Big Sisters of Harrisonburg and Rockingham, nominated by Brian Nixon
- Alexandria Seaport Foundation, nominated by Claire Given
- Good Shepherd Housing and Family Services, nominated by Lisa Bowman
Our members made all of this possible, so thank you! Nearly 100 members nominated their favorite local charitable organization and more than 5,000 voters helped us decide who would be The Big Giver.
If you keep an average balance of $20,000, your yearly dividend is $1,100. That will pay for quite a few gas fill-ups, grocery purchases, date nights or whatever else suits your fancy.
