LAWRENCE — BrightBridge Credit Union team members supported two important causes the weekend of Sept. 19: the 2026 Walk for Hope Fall Festival benefiting Lazarus House Ministries and the Walk for Sickle Cell Disease benefiting the Massachusetts Sickle Cell Association.
On Saturday, Sept. 19, the credit union was a $2,500 Walking Partner Sponsor of the Walk for Hope Fall Festival, an annual fundraiser that supports the work of Lazarus House Ministries. The organization serves more than 2,000 individuals and families each week through programs that address homelessness, food insecurity, housing instability, and other critical needs throughout the Merrimack Valley.
That same day, members of BrightBridge’s Dorchester branch team joined community members at the Walk for Sickle Cell Disease in Boston. Hosted by the Massachusetts Sickle Cell Association, the event raises awareness of sickle cell disease while generating support for programs and services that benefit individuals and families affected by the condition.
“These events exemplify what community partnership is all about,” said Glenn Prezzano, BrightBridge’s vice president of workplace member growth and financial wellness. “Our team is honored to be a sponsor and to show our support through participation in events that directly support people served by these wonderful and impactful organizations.“
