event photoAuburn Hills, MI, February 26, 2013 – Genisys Credit Union was the premier sponsor for OLHSA’s recent Walk for Warmth event, which was held at Great Lakes Crossing the morning of February 23rd. Additionally, Jackie Buchanan, President/CEO, announced that Genisys will be donating over $30,000 to the cause, which was raised by the hard work of members and her employees.  
The purpose of OLHSA’s Walk for Warmth is to bring the community together to raise funds and awareness for emergency utility assistance. It is a family-friendly walk-a-thon event where 100% of the funds raised are used to warm hearts and heat homes in Oakland County.
This year marked the golden anniversary of the event – the 23rd annual Walk for Warmth, held on the 23rd of February.
“Every year, we are blown away by the community support,” said Ronald B. Borngesser, OLHSA CEO. “The energy and enthusiasm of the walkers and sponsors is heartwarming and truly makes a difference in the lives of those in need of a helping hand during the cold winter months.”
In addition to the $30,000 Genisys Credit Union raised for Walk for Warmth, nearly 75 of their employees and families were present at the event. Manager of Public Relations and Community Involvement, Linda Zabik, sat on the Walk for Warmth board as fundraising chairperson. The Genisys Band was also present to provide entertainment to those walking.
 “It is remarkable to see the amount of dedication our members and Genisys staff have towards Walk for Warmth,” said Buchanan. “All of the staff really enjoys helping out for this cause, which is in line with our corporate mission.”
Employees from Consumers Energy, Bass Pro Shop, Lee General Contracting, and members of Oakland University’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity made notable contributions as well, and were amongst the 1,000 people who attended Saturday’s walk. Outlet stores at Great Lakes Crossing even contributed to the event by offering discounts to those who walked at the event.
