The Pay It Forward celebration has been a tradition at TBA Credit Union since 2015. The purpose is to provide random acts of kindness throughout the community.

“The phrase ‘People Helping People’ embodies what the credit union movement is all about,” said President/CEO Karen Browne. “Our Pay It Forward celebration was embraced by our entire team. It was so inspirational to witness the excitement as each team chose a non-profit, presented the funds, and then shared the impact and gratitude they felt.”
