New Hartford, NY – First Source Federal Credit Union will be honoring Community Heroes at the Utica University Pioneers Men’s Hockey Game on Friday, January 13th at the Utica Memorial Auditorium’s Adirondack Bank Center. First Source will be giving away Chico Hockey Sticks to kids at the door (while supplies last). In addition, you can look for a First Source T-shirt toss during the game.

First Source will celebrate and spotlight our Community Heroes who work or volunteer in the fields of Law Enforcement, Fire & Rescue, EMT, the Armed Forces, Healthcare, and Education throughout the evening.

Ray Philo, a First Source Board Member, Utica University Professor of Practice and retired New Hartford Police Chief will drop the puck at 7:00 p.m. First Source employee, Natalie Figueroa, will sing the national anthem.

“We cannot thank our community heroes enough. They give so much to all of us, we would like to give back to them,” said Pamela Way, First Source Community Relations Supervisor. “In addition, to help those heroes who are looking for consumer funding needs, we offer our Community Heroes Consumer Loan Program. Rebates and loan discounts are eligible to those who work professionally, or as volunteers, in fire and rescue, the armed forces, education, medical services, and law enforcement.”
