On the morning of Friday, January 7, employees of Arizona Federal got up a little earlier than normal to volunteer at a telethon hosted by Channel 3.

Arizona Federal's Service Squad assisted by taking donations by phone from 5 a.m. - 11 a.m. while Brad Perry hosted the event live on Good Morning, Arizona. People from all over the State called in to pledge money to the relief effort.

Their efforts helped raise $30,000 by the time the Service Squad left. The telethon continued the rest of the day raising a reported $179,127 overall.

Arizona Federal continues to raise donations in the branches, over the phone and online through the rest of February.

Arizona Federal is a locally-owned, locally-controlled, and locally-operated federally-chartered credit union managing $1 billion in member assets and serving over 165,000 member accounts.
