Benchmark Federal Credit Union

Benchmark employees turned “pink” last Saturday to raise funds for women with breast cancer. They participated in the Unite for HER 5K Run and 2K Walk in West Chester. Unite for HER provides breast cancer support, services, groups, and other resources for women in Chester County and the surrounding areas diagnosed with breast cancer.

Earlier this year, employees of Benchmark Federal Credit Union held their own fundraiser for the organization and donated a check.

“With our new branch in West Chester, it is especially meaningful for us to donate to such a great organization based here,” said Rebecca Worthington, Benchmark’s Vice President of Marketing. “As the only federal credit union to exclusively serve Chester County, we are committed to partnering with organizations that support our community and inspire us.”

West Chester University

For the third year, members of WCU and the surrounding community will have an opportunity for cultural exploration when five Spanish-language films are shown on campus. All films are subtitled in English and are free and open to the public.

Each screening is hosted by a faculty member who will facilitate discussion “before and after each film to draw critical connections to our lives in Pennsylvania,” said organizer Iliana Pagán-Teitelbaum, assistant professor of languages and cultures. The screenings are timely, falling within Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15). Click here for more information.
