Denim For Dollars

We Dress Down To Raise Others Up

Denim for Dollars is a fundraising effort led by staff members in which employees who choose to participate donate a minimum amount each City payday to wear jeans. Employees select one of three causes they would like to support — First Responders, Social Outreach or Animal Wellness. The funds are then donated to different organizations within our community.

Since 2015, Beach Municipal FCU and our members have donated more than $28,000 to our Denim For Dollars recipients.

During the previous quarter, our employees elected to send their contributions to the following organizations:

Coastal Virginia NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is the voice for everyone in our region affected by mental health conditions, including the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and the Eastern Shore. As a non-profit, grassroots organization, their core mission is to build better lives through support, education, and advocacy. NAMI Coastal Virginia works tirelessly to ensure that individuals living with mental illness, along with their families and friends, are not alone and have a compassionate, safe place to turn.

What makes NAMI Coastal Virginia essential is that all of their key services are provided for free to the community. Your donations directly power critical programs like their support groups, which offer an opportunity to be heard and gain insight from collective lived experiences. They also provide free educational programs like NAMI Family-to-Family and NAMI Peer-to-Peer, helping people understand conditions, cope with challenges, and move toward recovery. By contributing to this fundraiser, you are directly investing in this network of vital, no-cost services that offer hope and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
