ANAHEIM HILLS, Calif.–Saying it is seeking to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of International Credit Union Day on Oct. 21, Credit Union of Southern California (CU SoCal) plans to give away a total of $5,000 to select members and non-CU SoCal Members who share stories of how a credit union helped them build a better tomorrow.
The contest is running through Oct. 31 and will conclude when the credit union picks ten $500 winners among those who shared their stories.
To enter, Members and non-Members can visit CUSoCal.org/BetterTomorrow and share their stories in the designated field. The credit union said stories can include how CU SoCal, or any credit union, helped them save for a home or set them up for future financial success. A variety of stories are welcome, as long as they detail how a credit union led to building a better tomorrow. Ten of the top stories will be selected as $500 winners. Entrants must also follow CU SoCal on Facebook,, Instagram, LinkedIn or Twitter to qualify for the contest.
‘Build Better Lives’
“Credit unions have been celebrating ICU Day on the third Thursday of October since 1948, and CU SoCal is honored to take part in that tradition,” said CU SoCal President and CEO Dave Gunderson. “We’re committed to our mission to Build Better Lives, and we love hearing stories about the positive impact of credit unions. This contest encapsulates what CU SoCal is all about.”
The $2-billion CU SoCal has more than 127,000 members.
