RTN GoodWorks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, public charitable foundation that fosters financial wellness, and promotes financial literacy and community involvement. Founded in 2011, the RTN GoodWorks Foundation is a natural outgrowth of the Credit Union’s commitment to community activities and financial literacy as a key component of financial health efforts.
While we initially postponed the Walk until the fall, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Walk due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Save the date for next year’s Walk — Sunday, June 13, 2021.
