The Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL) continued its fundraising focus in 2023 on the Children's Miracle Network (CMN), a non-profit organization that raises funds for children's hospitals, medical research and children's health awareness. Through the League's silent and live auctions, fun run, golf outing, and matching donations, MCUL raised a total of $102,176.
The total amount will be divided among four CMN Hospitals in Michigan.
The partnership between CMN and the Michigan credit union community dates back to 1998, and the credit union industry is the third-highest donor to CMN behind Costco and Wal-Mart.
In the last 15 years, MCUL has raised more than $1 million for CMN.
“The League is pleased to round out our 25th year of CMN partnership so successfully,” said MCUL President/CEO Patty Corkery. “Of course, we couldn’t do this without continued commitment from our Michigan credit unions and credit union partners. They understand how important these funds are in providing critical treatments, equipment and care for children in need.”
The efforts of CMN Hospitals provide more than 32 million treatments to kids each year.
The Winter 2023 issue of Credit Union Magazine explores award-winning marketing, board training on a budget, developments in instant payments, service to small businesses, and NCUA’s final rule on member expulsion.
