LIVONIA, Mich.—More than 137,000 public votes were cast nationwide during October in celebration of the country’s favorite credit unions and the local charities they support as part of the second annual Love My Credit Union Campaign.
The Love My Credit Union Campaign is a video contest hosted by CU Solutions Group and CUNA.
Four charities will each be awarded a $5,000 prize on behalf of the following October winners who had the top votes in each asset-size category:
- Clinchfield FCU (Tennessee) and the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Unicoi County.
- Northeast Community CU (Tennessee) and Assistance Resource Ministries.
- ELGA CU (Michigan) and the Flint Diaper Bank.
- Alabama Credit Union and the Alabama Credit Union Foundation.
The October winners and public voting for each month’s winners through Dec. 16 can be viewed and tracked at the campaign website: www.VoteLoveMyCU.org
Monthly credit union winners are chosen by popular vote and are awarded with charitable donations made on their behalf to their charity of choice*. Additionally, members of the voting public are eligible to win cash prizes and charitable donations made in their name to their charity of choice.
“Credit unions are more than just financial institutions — we have a long history of charitable community involvement,” said CU Solutions Group CEO Dave Adams. “I’m excited to spread that message, and I’m even more excited to see how well the credit union community has responded.”
One of the Alabama Credit Union Foundation’s charitable efforts is with the Secret Meals for Hungry Children program, which provides food packs to children identified as going without food on weekends. The program feeds more than 2,300 children across seven Alabama counties.
