Service Credit Union has teamed up with Charlie McAvoy to support those who serve.

First responders thanklessly put their lives on the line each and every day to protect our communities. With cancer and heart disease among those who serve rising at an alarming rate, we decided to take action. By partnering with Boston’s star defenseman Charlie McAvoy, our goal is to help bring awareness to these issues and fund screenings for our first responders to get tested for early detection.

This is a paid partnership between Service Credit Union and Charlie McAvoy.

Honoring Those Who Answer the Call

Service Credit Union has teamed up with Charlie McAvoy, star Boston defender, to highlight 73 reasons to defend those who fearlessly answer the call to serve and protect.

Our Commitment

In partnership with Charlie McAvoy, we have made it our goal to bring awareness to the unseen battles our first responders face: Cancer and heart diseases.

New England’s first responders put their lives on the line to protect and defend the communities in which we live. Now it’s our turn to give back to them.

Police officers often face an elevated risk of heart disease due to the high-stress nature of their work and the environments in which they serve. Firefighters, meanwhile, carry a heightened risk of cancer because of repeated exposure to toxic substances. Service Credit Union is committed to supporting these everyday heroes by helping fund critical health screenings that are frequently not fully covered by insurance.

We remain committed to supporting our first responders by protecting those who protect us. From putting their lives on the line for us, to helping foster community relations, first responders do so much, and it’s time we recognize them.
