Truly Valued, Inc. announces a charitable gift of $3,000 from the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation. The $3,000 award will fund a teaching assistant position and cover essential program supplies for Mission: Possible, a 7-week summer reading experience for middle school students in Sarasota County. This support helps combat the summer slide by turning reading into an adventure—through field trips, creative projects, and weekly challenges designed to keep 10–20 students engaged, inspired, and building critical literacy skills all summer long.

“We’re so thankful to Suncoast Credit Union for believing in the power of summer learning,” says Shavonne Johnson, Founder & CEO of Truly Valued Inc. “Their support allows us to create meaningful opportunities for students to stay curious, connected, and confident long after the school year ends.”

Suncoast Credit Union, Florida’s largest credit union, founded the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation to promote the education, health and emotional well-being of children in the community. Each time a Suncoast member uses their debit or credit card, the credit union donates two cents to the Foundation to fund local initiatives. Since its inception in 1990, the Foundation has raised and donated over $45 million.

“Truly Valued’s program is an opportunity to bridge the summer learning gap often faced by students,” said Jeff Kunberger, Executive Director of Foundations at Suncoast Credit Union. “We’re honored to invest in our community’s youth and help nurture the next generation of confident, curious learners.”
