The credit union has invested a total of $15,000, with $7,500 going to each of the organizations.
“The support from Interior Savings for this initiative will be felt for many years”, says Mike Greer, executive director at Elevation Outdoors. “In a year when bikes are not easy to find this allowed us to purchase a full fleet and provide greater access to the outdoors while developing what we believe will be a long-term source of stable revenue to support the work of both EO and CRIS for years to come.”
