Blues at the Brig



Erie General Electric Federal Credit Union

Erie General Electric Federal Credit Union is proud to present Blues at the Brig featuring the Duke Sherman Blues Band Friday, June 10 at the Maritime Museum Amphitheater. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., admission is $3, children 6 and under are free.

 

Blues at the Brig provides a great way for our Credit Union to give back to the community,” said Gail Cook, President and CEO of the Erie General Electric Federal Credit Union. “All of the money raised will support local charities.”

This is the second consecutive year the Duke Sherman Blues Band has teamed up with the General Electric Credit Union to give in this way. Monies raised from this year’s festivities will benefit the InProve Charitable giving program (the charitable arm of the General Electric Credit Union) and the Flagship Niagara League.

The InProve program at the Erie General Electric Credit Union is designed to work with various charities and non-profits to fulfill the Credit Union mission of giving back to the community. This year’s spotlight charity is the YMCA Kids Club at the John E. Horan garden apartments. The Kids Club program is designed to provide a place for children who live in low-income housing an opportunity to gain positive life skills in a safe environment.

The Credit Union has similar events scheduled throughout the rest of the year – including participating in the Back to School Free Haircut Day, a comedy night at Jr.’s Last Laugh and a golf outing later in the summer. More information including pictures, testimonials, video recap, and more info about the charities supported by the Credit Union through this program can be found at www.InProveErie.com

“We are always looking to impact our community in a positive way,” said Trent Mason, Chief Marketing Officer. This concert will do just that! There are many great causes and organizations in Erie and we are honored to help support them!”
