Jovia FCU Gives to $30K Donation for Cohen's Children's Medical

New Hyde Park, NY; June 29, 2021– Jovia Financial Credit Union, Long Island’s leading credit union and long-standing member of the New York Credit Union Association Long Island Chapter, recently took part in making a $30,000 donation to Cohen Children’s Medical Center Pediatric Diabetes Program, headquartered in New Hyde Park, NY.

For the past 28 years, Long Island Credit Unions have organized a charity golf outing to raise money for non-profits in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 29th Annual Long Island Credit Unions Golf Outing was canceled last year.

The spirit and determination of raising funds and awareness for non-profits lived on as Jovia Financial Credit Union and fellow Association members continued efforts to generate donations and funding from supporters and golf event sponsors, fulfilling the promise to support the Northwell Health program.

“Being a member of the New York Credit Union Association for decades teaches us all the meaning of camaraderie. Our collaborative nature instantly took over and we continued on with our mission to raise money for an incredible healthcare institution and hospital,” commented Eric Oterson, Senior Vice President, Service and Sales Management for Jovia Financial Credit Union.

New York Credit Union Association (NYCUA) has been committed to advancing the credit union movement by advocating, educating, uniting, and supporting the interests of all credit unions statewide since 1917. NYCUA is owned by its members and governed by a volunteer board of directors who stand strong and united as the voice of the New York credit union community. NYCUA is also an effective advocate in Albany and Washington, and a trusted resource for compliance support, education, and training, as well as outreach opportunities.

Not only is Jovia Financial Credit Union a big supporter of giving back to the community, but it is also one of Long Island’s leading credit unions that has proudly offered its affordable banking services to Long Islanders for more than 80 years. With more than $3.8 billion in assets and over 200,000 members, Jovia has branches and a shared branch network throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. To join Jovia, eligible members must live, work, attend school, or regularly conduct business in Nassau and/or Suffolk counties (excluding the townships of East Hampton, Southampton, and Shelter Island). Existing Jovia members may also sponsor immediate family members or household members. Jovia has been named FORBES 2019 and 2020 Best in State Credit Union.
