Envista Federal Credit Union Renews Bods Care Partnership and Launches New EnvistaCares Card for Washburn University Athletics
Envista Federal Credit Union today announced the renewal of its Bods Care, Empowered by Envista, partnership with Washburn University Athletics, alongside the launch of a new EnvistaCares Card supporting the Washburn University Athletic Department. The dual announcement reinforces Envista's long-term commitment to the Topeka community and to Washburn Athletics, from its student mentorship programs to its broader athletic mission.
Since its founding in 2018, Bods Care has connected Washburn student-athletes, coaches and volunteers with elementary and middle school students across the greater Topeka area. Through recess visits, lunch mentoring, before-school high-fives, assemblies and pep rallies, and community events, Bods Care provides local students with guidance, encouragement and opportunities to build meaningful connections with positive role models.
"At Envista, we believe our role goes beyond providing financial services; it's about investing in the communities we serve," said Val Williams, Vice President of Marketing at Envista Federal Credit Union. "Renewing our Bods Care partnership and launching the new EnvistaCares Card are two more ways we're putting that belief into action, giving our members an easy, everyday way to invest in Washburn Athletics and the Topeka community right alongside us."
During the 2023-2024 academic year alone, Bods Care connected with 27 schools and interacted with over 12,000 children in the surrounding area. The renewed partnership between Envista and Washburn University Athletics will help ensure this outreach continues to grow and positively impact more local students.
Alongside the partnership renewal, Envista is introducing a new EnvistaCares Card option dedicated to Washburn University Athletics. Every time a member uses their Washburn Athletics EnvistaCares debit card, Envista will donate five cents per transaction to the Washburn University Athletic Department, at no additional cost to the member. Funds generated through the card will support future scholarships for student athletes.
"Bods Care wouldn't be possible without partners like Envista who believe in the value our student-athletes bring to local youth," said Loren Ferré, Athletics Director at Washburn University. "This renewed commitment, combined with a new way for our fans and supporters to support our department simply by using their debit card, strengthens our ability to invest in our student-athletes and programs for years to come."
Envista members can select Washburn University Athletics as their designated organization when opening a new checking account. Existing Envista members can also switch their current debit card to a Washburn University Athletics EnvistaCares Card. To learn more or request a card, visit www.envistacares.com.
