Pensacola, Florida (April 23, 2025) – Gulf Winds Credit Union is proud to contribute a $10,000 gift to Rally Gulf Coast to advance their mission of raising funding, awareness, and urgency for childhood cancer research. This donation reflects the credit union’s commitment to financially empowering local youth and families and demonstrates true dedication to supporting initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.
For over 10 years, Rally Gulf Coast has dedicated their impact to changing the future of childhood cancer, fostering a child’s future, and a family’s hope, and increasing the drive to discover better treatments for youth affected by pediatric cancer. Rally Gulf Coast is centralized in Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart in Pensacola, but serves families across the Florida Panhandle, southern Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
“When a child is facing cancer, the impact reaches far beyond the diagnosis; it affects entire families and communities,” said Daniel Souers, Gulf Winds President and CEO. “We’re proud to support Rally Gulf Coast in the work they’re doing to bring hope, resources, and a sense of community to those walking through incredibly difficult circumstances.”
Investing in partnerships that address real challenges facing local families, especially those impacting children, is central to Gulf Winds’ values. By helping bring attention, resources, and community support to families right here at home, Gulf Winds can help ensure that kids fighting cancer can get back to being kids.
“Support from community partners like Gulf Winds Credit Union allows us to continue pushing forward in the fight against childhood cancer,” said Jessica Siderio, Development Manager for Rally Gulf Coast. “This investment not only fuels critical research but also strengthens the network of care and support for families who need it most.”
