Envista Delivers Surprise Check Donations Totaling $4,501 to 21 Lawrence Schools

Envista Federal Credit Union is kicking off International Credit Union Week, October 16-20, introducing a "Roots of Kindness" campaign. Envista’s dedication extends far beyond the realm of traditional banking, as they are passionate about nurturing the community and fostering a ripple effect of kindness. Envista has been actively cultivating a culture of kindness, and to start the celebration, they had the pleasure of surprising 21 Lawrence schools with a check donation. 

Giving began at the Annual Lawrence Chamber event, Taste of Lawrence, where Envista invited members, the community, educators, and students to step into the Envista "Cash for Class" money machine at their booth. Inside the money machine, participants had mere seconds to collect as many dollars as they could. These dollars, generously collected, were earmarked for a donation to the Lawrence school of their choice. Moved by the overwhelming response, 170 individuals took up the challenge. In the end, a total of $4,501. was gathered, and this sum was then distributed to the 21 Lawrence schools the week prior to International Credit Union Week.

Envista proudly presented each of the 21 Lawrence schools with a surprise check donation. The following Lawrence schools were the deserving donation recipients:
