The Illinois Credit Union League (ICUL) announced the selection of ten winning credit unions and one league in the Giving component of the July 29, 2022 #ILoveMyCreditUnion campaign. The #ILoveMyCreditUnion campaign brings the collaborative credit union movement together on one day to share authentic stories and high-energy conversation about why people love their credit union using the common hashtag.

The Giving component for #ILoveMyCreditUnion day gave credit unions an opportunity to share their community engagement strategy to be entered into a raffle to win $1,000 to a charity of their choice. Credit unions submitted the plans on www.ilovemycreditunion.social/giving. All credit union leagues registered to participate in the campaign were also entered into a separate raffle for $15,000 to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in their area.  The raffle drawings took place July 22.

“We are so fortunate to work in a collaborative movement based on the philosophy of people helping people,” noted Tom Kane, ICUL & Envisant CEO.  “Congratulations to the Association of Vermont Credit Unions and the 10 credit unions that will be sharing $25,000 in contributions from Envisant with the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and local charities.  It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the spirit of #ILoveMyCreditUnion Day!”
