LOS ANGELES–California Credit Union has been named the official credit union of the Los Angeles Zoo.
The $4.5-billion California CU entered into the agreement with the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA), which said the funding will provide “invaluable financial support” for the Zoo’s volunteer program.
As the exclusive credit union of the Los Angeles Zoo, California Credit Union will be an official sponsor of GLAZA’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Day, Beastly Ball, and Walk for the Wild, CCU said.
In addition, California Credit Union members will be offered discounted ticket pricing and promotions for tickets and Zoo experiences.
On-Site at the Zoo
Throughout the year, California Credit Union said it will also be on-site at the Zoo with “innovative sponsor activations” and to share information about its unique credit union benefits and services with residents of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties.
Sponsorship dollars will fund volunteer training and orientation fees, student volunteer scholarship programs, volunteer education and training materials, the uniform budget of all volunteers, and more, according to the organizations.
As part of its shared commitment by GLAZA and the Los Angeles Zoo, California Credit Union said it will also host a community day with a local under-resourced school for teachers and students to experience the Zoo during the upcoming year.
A ’Natural Fit’
“As one of our most treasured and long-standing institutions in the Greater Los Angeles area, the opportunity to partner with GLAZA and the L.A. Zoo was a natural fit, with a shared commitment to supporting our communities and local youth,” said California Credit Union President/CEO Steve O’Connell. “We are excited to support its fantastic volunteer program through this partnership, along with furthering its important mission. We look forward to helping bring the L.A. Zoo experience and its important education and conservation messages to our members and the children of our communities.”
California CU has more than 170,000 members, and operates in San Diego County as North Island Credit Union, a division of California Credit Union.
