VyStar Credit Union is proud to announce an upcoming celebration that will be headlined by free admission days for the public at several of the most popular cultural and educational destinations across Central and North Florida.
The celebration, Good is everywhere, will highlight VyStar’s deep support for its members and communities with special events in early November. As part of the wide-ranging program, VyStar employees will also volunteer with several longtime nonprofit partners, and VyStar will make charitable donations to each organization.
“For more than 70 years, our work has been inspired by the members we serve and the places we call home,” said VyStar President/CEO Brian Wolfburg. “Good is everywhere is a unique opportunity for us to amplify our purpose to Do Good, highlight the impactful work of our local nonprofit partners and bring communities together to enjoy these attractions. We are very excited to invite residents and visitors of all ages to join us in having a great time at some of the area’s top destinations.”
