As we close out 2025, I want to thank our members and employees for another impactful year at ValleyStar Credit Union. Together, we continue to make a meaningful difference in the communities we proudly serve.
One of this year’s highlights was our annual ValleyStar Golf Tournament, which raised an incredible $41,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, supporting children and families close to home. In addition, I’m proud to share that our Board of Directors approved a significant $500,000 donation to the Martinsville YMCA to help build a new location. This investment reflects our long-term commitment to strengthening our communities and improving quality of life for generations to come.
Our employees continue to lead by example through volunteerism across our footprint. In 2025, ValleyStar employees donated more than 330 hours of their time to support local nonprofits, community events, and outreach initiatives—living out our mission of people helping people every step of the way.
We also celebrated the third year of our “Scan Me, Win Me” car giveaway, a tradition that continues to bring excitement and opportunity to our members. Congratulations to Tina Collins, our 2025 winner—we loved being part of such a memorable moment.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to soon launch our financial education program with Patrick & Henry Community College. Education is one of ValleyStar’s core corporate pillars, and this partnership allows us to equip students with the financial knowledge they need to build strong, confident futures.
On behalf of our leadership team and Board of Directors, thank you to our dedicated employees and loyal members for making 2025 such a success. We’re grateful for your trust and support and look forward to continuing to grow together in 2026.
Warm regards, Mike Warrell President & CEO ValleyStar Credit Union
