Mermaids with a mission.

Glacier Hills team members regularly volunteer time to help with community events and fundraisers. A recent example we’d like to highlight was “Bowl for Kids’ Sake,” which raised money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County. In keeping with the event’s “Under the Sea,” the Glacier Hills team got creative and dressed up as mermaids in a show of support. Not only did they raise around $600 for this worthy non-profit, they won the award (not surprisingly, judging by the photos) for the most spirited team.

Our mermaids make a difference.

Avoiding social media scams.

While social media is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends, it’s also becoming an increasingly popular way for scammers to take advantage of people. It’s easy for thieves to create a fake profile in order to attract followers to later scam them. Or, they can advertise a bogus product or service that entices users to enter credit or debit card information that the scammer than uses to charge your account. Investment scams—such as those involving bogus cryptocurrency investments—romance scams and online shopping fraud accounted for more than 70% of social media scams in 2021.

Learn how to protect yourself.

Car buying can be fun.

If you dread the idea of buying a new car, let us offer up an idea that might just change your mind. With the Glacier Hills Car Buying Service, we can assist you in building the car you need with all the options you want and get the best deal in the process.

You’ll also be able to see what others have paid for the same car and get a Guaranteed Savings Certificate plus up-front pricing. All with no negotiation hassles!

In the market for a used car instead? We've got you covered. With no-haggle pricing on our high quality inventory, you'll know you're getting a great deal without getting squeezed by the salesperson.

Enjoy a better way to buy.

We support our future leaders.

Each year we award scholarships to our members who are local high school seniors getting ready to transition to the next level of their education. This year we were pleased to announce our two winners at the Annual Meeting on March 22. Congratulations to Joscelyn B. and Kacey O.—both from Slinger High School—who each received $1,000 to put toward their college education starting in the fall.

Celebrate academic achievement!
