LYNNFIELD — Wakefield
Co-operative Bank employees
wore jeans to work to benefit
the Lynnfield school community’s
fundraiser to adopt an
assistance dog through NEADS
World Class Service Dogs.
Wakefield Co-op President
and CEO Jeff Worth doubled
employee contributions, resulting
in a donation of $312 to
NEADS, a nonprofit organization
based in Princeton, Mass.
To support the fundraiser,
Wakefield Co-op encourages
bank employees to wear denim
to work on designated “Jeans
Days” in exchange for a donation
to a local organization.
Two employees of the bank,
Chief Loan Officer Leo Barrett
Jr. and Senior Commercial
Loan Assistant Elisa Preston —
both Lynnfield residents with
children in the school system
— nominated the fundraiser as
a Jeans Day recipient in June.
NEADS was established
in 1976 and has trained over
1,900 service dog teams to help
veterans; individuals with disabilities,
autism and deafness;
NEADS also trains assistance
dogs for classrooms, hospitals,
therapy and courthouses,
among others.
Classroom assistance dogs
are trained to develop and enhance
students’ well-being and
can help provide emotional
regulation, increase student
independence and responsibility,
and facilitate the successful
transition to school or
during school, according to a
Wakefield Co-op press release.
They also encourage learners
