Orion Federal Credit Union recently presented a $15,000 donation to Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley for his charity of choice, Methodist Healthcare Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center.

Conley is a longtime supporter of Methodist Healthcare Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, which runs a preventive outpatient clinic and Memphis’s first dedicated emergency infusion unit for sickle cell patients. The center is focused on delivering treatment advances through on-site research.

This donation is the latest example of Orion dedicating dollars and volunteer hours to support the Memphis community.
In 2015, Orion employees logged more than 300 volunteer hours, sponsored 22 local events and donated critical funding to 27 local groups.
