Sunmark Foundation Wraps Up Fifth Summer of Kindness
The Sunmark Charitable Community Foundation wrapped up its fifth annual Summer of Kindness, a signature initiative designed to build meaningful connections and create positive change in our local communities. Over the summer, the Foundation partnered with local organizations and nonprofits to host a series of programs designed to support educators, inspire youth, and bring communities together:
“Sunmark believes deeply in the credit union philosophy of people helping people, and nothing illustrates that belief better than our Foundation’s commitment to community,” said Audrey Stone, Community Engagement Program Manager at Sunmark Credit Union. “Summer of Kindness goes beyond financial contributions, it’s about volunteering, collaboration, and investing in sustainable community partnerships.”
The Summer of Kindness campaign began in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to address emerging community needs. Since then, it has grown into a cornerstone program that also invites children up to age 12 to “deposit kindness” by submitting their own ideas for community improvement. Selected ideas are brought to life through coordinated volunteer projects, ensuring that residents play an active role in shaping stronger, more connected communities.
Now in its fifth year, the campaign highlights the Foundation’s long-term commitment to social responsibility and the power of collaboration. By focusing on education, youth development, and community engagement, Sunmark continues to demonstrate how collective efforts can create lasting impact across the region.
