American Heritage Credit Union kicked off its 14th annual Grand Illumination on Saturday, November 27. Over 15,000 community members enjoyed the illumination of American Heritage’s main campus along with free holiday performances and fireworks, food donations, a contribution to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a special ceremony honoring the Tuskegee Airmen, and the awarding of $19,000 in sweepstakes prizes to American Heritage members.

American Heritage Credit Union announced that it has completed its merger with the $80 million asset Viriva Community Credit Union. With more than 8,000 members, Viriva was headquartered in Bucks County. The Viriva office in Warminster, Bucks County, reopened on November 1 as a full-service branch of American Heritage. The Viriva membership overwhelmingly voted to merge their credit union with American Heritage in October.

The Kids-N-Hope Foundation raised $145,000 during its 26th Annual Golf Classic event at the Huntingdon Valley Country Club on Monday, October 25. The event’s volunteer staff and golfers enjoyed an afternoon on the greens and ended the day with an Awards Banquet and Silent Auction event. The annual golf outing serves as one of the signature fundraising and recognition events for The Foundation.

Nothing shines like American Heritage Credit Union during the holiday season. American Heritage invites the community to visit the American Heritage main campus at 2060 Red Lion Road in Northeast Philadelphia to enjoy more than 400,000 lights and holiday displays.

American Heritage Credit Union’s Green Team hosted two Adopt-A-Highway Fall Clean-Up events in Northeast Philadelphia and Lansdale, PA during September and October. The American Heritage Green Team hosts a variety of volunteer events throughout the year to carry out its initiatives of beautifying the communities American Heritage serves while encouraging the credit union and its associates to become more environmentally friendly.
