“Gilda’s Club provides support and comfort to those living with cancer and their loved ones,” said Terry. “The significance of their outreach is invaluable. It is especially important to me because of personal experiences with cancer in my own family, and I am honored to contribute to the efforts of this wonderful organization.”
Lee Ann Rogers, Acting Executive Director of Gilda’s Club said “We are overwhelmed by the generosity of Jason Terry and Credit Union of Texas. They are truly making it possible for our members to learn to live with cancer—no matter the outcome. On behalf our members, staff, and Board of Directors, a big thank you to both.”
