EnvistaCares Challenge Helps to Raise $153,879 in 2021

Each month the EnvistaCares Challenge provides one local organization a one-month media package valued at more than $10,000, a $2,500 challenge gift and a video for the organization to use to share their story during and after the challenge. The EnvistaCares Challenge gift is a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $2,500. During 2021, the community gave $126,063 to ten different organizations to secure the EnvistaCares Challenge match of $2,500 for each organization. In total, $153,879 was raised in 2021 to help local organizations.

“Our goal at Envista is to lead, inspire and make an impact with our giving,” said Tara Dimick, Chief Business Development Officer at Envista Credit Union. “It has been exciting to see the community step up to the challenge each month and provide support to the incredible organizations that we had the opportunity and privilege to partner with in 2021.”
