Based in Sunrise, and one of the largest credit unions in south Florida with 50,000 members, BrightStar raised a total of $21,133 for the American Red Cross to assist in the Hurricane Sandy Relief effort. BrightStar collected a total of $11,133 from members and employees through their six locations in Broward County. BrightStar then matched that amount up to $10,000 for a grand total of $21,133.  A financial gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need. L to r: Dana Saintfort, Marketing Specialist, BrightStar Credit Union; Biana Murnane, Vice President of Finance, BrightStar Credit Union; Gloria Danovitz, Chief Development Officer, American Red Cross; Vanessa Gregory, Vice President of Human Resources, Bright-Star Credit Union.
